New Turbo Setup

S T A R 3 3 · September 7, 2007

Hi guys,

I'm quite an amateur when it comes to all of this. My r33 currently has a turbo back exhaust and splitfire coilpacks.

I'm researching to upgrade my turbo within the next few months. I just want to have a rough figure in my head so I can sort out the finances.

I AM budget concious but would like to get a bigger sized turbo. I'm not looking to be the fastest car out there, but I am looking to make a noticeable increase.

My question is:

What else is involved when purchasing a turbo?

I can only assume that I can't get horsepower in a box delivered to my doorstep, and then install it, and expect it to run like a dream

What other things will I have to install at the same time?

What are some things I SHOULD have before I install?

hahah. ok, so by now you all should know how much knowledge I have. If you can help in anyway, it would be muchly appreciated.

Hey champ, the best way imho is to just search and read, stay up all night if you have to just reading random threads, they are all really helpfull. look at threads from traders also, cause people upgrading there turbo often ask the same questions and it'll be answerd. Alot of good prices in the traders section. Im abit of a DIY junky so doesnt cost me much in that deparment. Anyway, sorry i havnt really helped you but i read alot in here and find i hardly have to ask anything! as you can tell by my post count! haha... cheers mate! good luck in the future.
