    Default Is this BS?

    I've bought a T3/T4 for my N/A VL and have just found this on ebay, im wanting to know whether or not a) it does anything, and b) do i need/want it for when i put my turbo on?

    Also does anyone have any idea of how to make a turbo manifold out of a stock VL manifold? I've heard it can be done...?

    Thanks guys

    Found what on ebay, the t3/4.. That is the turbo.

    Turbo manifold out of a stock one, don't bother. Second hand manifolds are 2-300 dollars.

    Buy one of those High mount manifolds off ebay they are around $300. then you will need oil and water lines for the turbo. If the motor is a series one you will need a T piece.You will also need a turbo inlet, a crossover pipe and Don't forget to change the ECU and injectors to turbo items as it will run lean otherwise.

    Thats just for the motor, you will need to do something about the auto and diff and brakes because standard items are too weak to cope with the turbo.

    Also what do you guys think about these? Are they a necessity? I thought a wastegate was what kept the boost level where you want it...?

    I wouldn't run too much boost on a standard motor without adequate cooling, 9-11psi is the limit I believe for a standard turbo engine but even that can be harmful if it is not in the right state of tune. Standard turbos run extremely rich because they are not intercooled this measure was to insure that the rich mixture helped to keep the pistons slightly cooler when giving it some shit. So if you add an intercooler you can lean the mixture to help it make more power and run more boost as well.
