I will try clearing up my question, for those with 500+ WHP what other mods did you purchase besides the turbo kit in order to keep the kit and your motor healthy. Hope that helps.

 

Just my opinion but, these are the things I do with regards to the motor.

(1) Data log and check everything in the summer and winter at minimum

(2) Check the plugs periodically

(3) Compression and leak down tests

(4) Check your oil and antifreeze often

(5) Clean the Throttle body

(6) Check the belt and lubricate

(7) Check for boost leaks

(8) Check for exhaust leaks

(9) Change oil at 3K or sooner based on level color and smell

(10) Check valve clearance and retainers

 

i LMAO on this one!! Soo true too tho

 

MY WIFE THINKS IM NUTS EVERYTIME WE GO SOMEWHERE IM POPPING THE HOOD AND CHECKING EVERYTHING LOL

 

hahaha!

 

Ok now I see the regular maintenance things I should look after, but what supporting mods did you guys purchase to keep your 500+ WHP safe and running. At such high horsepower levels what is stock on the S2K that needs to be changed out?

 

dude thats so me too, i an anal and like cant be a normal person until I somehow know im not low on oil, or that my plugs show no signs of detonation. I am anal but thats what keeps it runniung.

 

why are you looking for something to do....the engine internals are strong, you have a good tune....just maintain it man. catch Can would help prevent blowby but doesnt necessarily make anything last longer esp if your like me and change oil out every 2000miles.

 

Should have read the entire thing, here are a few goodies.

I would recommend a PCV valve suited for higher pressure applications. (See My IP build)

How did you hookup the front breather port on the valve cover?

An oil accumulator like Canton

 

why does the truboost suck? I have 3 boost settings with one button. No spiking or anything...seems to be PERFECT.

edit : are you all talking boost by gear?
