Going Turbo
So i will be going turbo in the next few weeks i have been piecing together a kit and just wanted to run down my list so you guys can tell me if i am missing something. thanks... i have turbo, mani, 450cc injectors, resistor box,chipped p28, intercooler, bov, ic piping, wg,boost gauge, boost controller, oil lines, vacuum lines...Now i plan on installing the turbo myself, i have never turbod a car before so im a little nervous about the install, but i wanna learn and like to do things myself to my car plus im trying to keep the cost down so i can have money for tuning...How hard is it and what are some common problems that people run into when installing the turbo kit? sorry for the long story any help is appreciated

do you have a downpipe?
do you have clamps and coupler?
you should get an oil pressure gauge
it's not hard to install a turbo kit.
you just need to figure out how you want to get oil. are you going to use a sandwich plate or use a tee fitting off the back of the block.
then you need to figure out how you are going to tap the oil pan for the oil drain. are you going to weld on a bung and screw in a fitting or are you going to drill a hole and put in the barb fitting and silicone on it with a jam nut behind?
