what boost are you running then?

edit to say i read through the thread after my comment.
put a t3 on it. but i dont know how you would map it up. put some bigger injectors in it, an itercooler maybe port the inlet ports.

taittsierra

well it runs standard at 14-15psi but i hope to be running about 21-24psi?

comments welcome!>evan

they run 15psi standard :O
i had an old p100 1.8TD an it felt like it was running about 5psi. i supose it is a little turbo tho.

when you bolt another turbo on to it, how do u regulate the boost pressure.

taittsierra

thats wat i feels lik alrite aye but it about 15.
well my pla is
*front mount intercooler
*advance timing 10degrees
*turn boost up until it is running in proportaion to the fuel(about 21-24psi)
*prot an polish inlets
*change manifold to free flow(custom made dont think it can be bought)
*2.1/2'' exhuast straight through
*heat rap
*an lightend flywheel

im going to keep standard turbo for now.mite change to t28 in time

how do u mean regulate boost pressure??controle it??>evan

taittsierra

do u no anywer i could get bigger injectors??wat size u reccomend??>evan

taittsierra
