i have the chance to buy a t3/t4 turbo kit for my d series for only 600$. but would i have to fully build the engine for this?? rep will be given for advice..thanks

 

not really just keep the bost down around 5-7 psi and tune it but bysides single cams are cheap if u blow u can get another for like 200 bucks

 

yeah id say on about 5-7 pounds with a good tune you wouldnt blow it. try to make sure u buy a kit for less headaches instead of piecing it together,stock internals ftw!!!!

 

If you buy a cheap turbo kit the following will happen 99% of the time:
1. Your turbo will fail within a few ours or few weeks.
2. Your turbo manifold will crack.
3. Your couplings will suck.
4. You will re-buy 90% of the components that came with the kit because they suck.
5. You will skimp on tuning & crack a ringland on your stock motor & have to rebuild it.
The list goes on...

Do it right or don't do it at all.

 

^ ya thats what everybody has been tellin me. but like 2300 dollars for a turbo is going to take a damn long time to get.. thanks for all the help guys..!!! rep given!!!!

 

definately listen to john. you get what you pay for. money you save now will only be temporary because you will spend much more later replacing and repairing. g/l
