    You've based this on what?

    Delcowizzard on this forum was boosting his stock buick engine. And after all he threw at it, it only kept breaking 5 speeds

    BTW op. setup looks good. nice hidden front mount /sarc

    This is what i got up to last week startin with
    Wednesday: car is of the mechanic to have the original sump removed and the turbo sump installed hope to get the car back this afternoon if not Thursday morning .
    Thursday: finally have the sump in and can get started on the exhaust and turbo headers once that is done ill fit the turbo up and run the oil and water lines hopefully that won't take me to long and I can start on the battery relocation to the boot.
    Friday: now that the turbo is fitted it's time to start the intercooler piping the intercooler was fitted about a month ago great placement if all goes well ill have the piping done and can get started on the throttle body and cable.
    Saturday: anything that has not been completed will be done today but hopefully everything will be completed and I can test start the beast and take it for a spin up the street.
    Sunday: wash car.

    pretty sure if i ever set myself a timeline like that it would have taken a whole lot longer cause nothing ever seems to quite work out for me lol

    Ok taking bets on how long he will last on the road before Mr Plod pulls him up and sticks his hand up his a$$ for driving a "High Powered" car.... Seriously mate you're fu&king it up for the rest of us. Also how much PSI do you plan on running because even the stock Ecotec motor can only handle about 8 PSI without doing a rebuild.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    I wish people would stop whinging - regardless of what you say p platers will always bend the rules.
    There are plenty of turbo buicks on here running more than 8psi on stock internals, besides they're a cheap replaceable motor if it does go bang.

    Do you have two of them turbos? That is way to small, It will choke the engine.

    As for boost and standard engines, the engine in my wagon has accidendly seen over 20psi for possibly weeks due to a split vacume line feeding boost control and boost gauge. still runs fine.

    Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.
