    Default Too late for turbo?

    Hey jus wonderin my vl calais has clocked up almost 300kms is it to late to even think about making the turbo conversion or would it be fine?

    Also i recently got my injectors replaced and a couple of them were cracked on the ends and shit was missing of em, anyway would this of been bad for the motor if the stuff fell into it? i posted a pic of 1 of them

    rb30 is a good strong engine as long yours is running sound and not blowing smoke it will be fine running a turbo, most vl's will be up around the 250k- 350k mark now anyway, and those pieces from the injector are not good for the engine but they will have gone through the combustion chamber and what didn't burn up will be sitting in your cat converter, you could do a compression test on the cylinder that injector came from and compare it to the other five cylinders.
