I Need Help With My VL Turbo

[mr.rb30et]

Hey ppl...
i have bought a stock genuine vl turbo and i need to know what i need to do to run 14psi comfurtably and what sort of turbo should i upgrade too before i get rediculous... thanks all (Y) i found a intercooler kit for a vl turbo for $400... what else do i need cheers

to run 14 psi you would need a couple of different mods.
exhaust (3inch turbo back preferably)
bigger injectors
definatly a intercooler or it would ping off its nuts
anything else???

umm stock t3 wont run 14 pound very well run it on about 10 pound with a cooler and it will be much happier......then get it highflowed or run a to4 or u could go crazy and fork out for a gt35...then you will need to upgrade your fuel system get a bigger exzaust and a half decent intercooler.....then when your auto desides to **** its self get that beefed up aswell

Cheers boys... my car already has a 3" exhaust from the turbo back so im right there!! does anyone know how much it would cost for a to4 turbo or to get my stock t3 turbo "highflowed". i dont plan on sparing any costs with this as it is my pride and joy!! btw i have a manual ... auto's r lame ... is a blow off valve esential????

[Dose Pipe]

auto's are lame? yet you want a blow off valve lol

for a high flow your looking at anywhere from 1000>1500

the standerd turbo will do 14psi but the injectors wont keep up

If auto's are lame then why is it that the fastest street vl is auto?

[mr.rb30et]

Since when did i say they're slower????? i simply said they're lame... i dont think you should have a performance car automatic... there only good in performance cars if they're for drag cars and that gets boring lol... racing round a cource or drift battles much more enteraining and fun! lol

cheers

so having a car that comes on boost and just starts skating down 2 lanes is lame? fair enough.....

ok i have a kkr 430 ($750) (or could get a KKR 480 for about $900) std injectors, cooler and thats it....mid 13 sec car with standard boost(11psi) chopped a EVO 7 on saturday comfortably....no need to spend big money onna turbo if not necessary..... you in qld ??? i can help ya out no problems at all !!!!!

and im lame also with a boring old tricked up auto

if you choose to run an auto thats your choice but in my opinion if your not running sub 10s i think manuals are much more fun. back to the topic if you upgrade your injectors you will easily be ably to run 14 psi on a t3 turbo. this probably isnt the right place to be asking this question go to www. calais turbo.com.au
