Hey all,
Well I've got the turbo install almost done. One problem though. The oil pressure light keeps coming on as soon as the turbo spools, I checked the oil and it's at the level, unless maybe I need to overfill it to compensate? Any ideas from all you turbo gurus out there? I had to tee off the oil pressure switch to run the oil line to the turbo by the way.

Here are some pics anyhow...

I tapped the oil pan for the retun line and used a tee for the in line..

I'll try that on Monday, I left it at the shop over the weekend. I replaced the switch when i put the turbo on with a discount auto parts one, I'm wondering if maybe they gave me a bad one or something. The old one worked fine.

If I was done, and dyno'd I might tell you. But I just finished and haven't worked the bugs out, so no idea. It's a motor, it can be turbo'd, that's the point. Doesn't really matter what kind of car it is.

All said and done I'd like to make about 200hp, in a 2300lb car. You do the math

make sure your oil pump is not going bad... this happened to my car when i turboed it and the oil pump got mess up, my oil light will come on too...
nice sleeper you got there btw...

I'm looking at dyno'ing 240-250 with a good tune on mine once the kit is on it. A built bottom end D20 is making 350 to the wheels. But before I get into all that I must add the LSD and finish my suspension.
