Hey Guys, I'm going to turn my VL stockie auto into a nice ride and I'm going to turbo it, apart from the intake and turbo and turbo manifolds im wondering about all the little things i need to do.
I know i have to change the computer and injectors, but things like which injectors should i use - VL turbo or aftermarket cc ones? And how big shopuld they be if i go aftermarket? There are so many sizes.
How do i plumb the BOV back into the exhaust so its legal? How do i hook up the turbo cooling lines (oil and water)?
Is it hard to wire up the turbo to the car itself and add a turbo timer and boost controller? My mates got lots of experience with nissan skyline gtr's single and twin turbo's but i also want other points of view.
Will i need to have a rising rate fuel regulator? and will i need to change the fuel rails?
How does the wastegate work and is it hard to put one in? I'm probably goping to go with a Monsta T70 turbo and manifold set up - i know it's big - but i want to go big but not necessarily lots and lots of boost. i also realise that i have to increase the gasket thickness on the head to reduce compression - how should i do this double up gaskets ? Use copper gaskets?
do i have to change my AFM? I'm definately going to put in a FMIC - are these hard to install? i should say IF, my mate has experience with turboed cars he should be able to install most of these things for me, am i right??
Do i need to change my diff and axles or will stock be okay? Same goes for my auto box will they cope with giving it a stab here and there and not killing it all the time?
Should i get ARP head studs or will i need them?
HAVE I MISSED ANYTHING???
I'm stuck with a stockie thats about to get a new lick of midnight blue and 17" rims and it IS going to get turboed i just need to know everything.
Any help or advice you offer is greatly appreciated, Help me please..
