i agree. thats why im not jumping into anything before i get my preferred set-up. As well if you have a garage, try and DIY on the turbo install. It will help in the long run when you run into problems

 

ok i got one more question.... since i dont have to change the headgasket to a 3mm inline pro headgasket, is it necessary to change the stock headgasket to a new one? i mean it is a used engine im getting so i dont know if it would be ready for boost ? thanks for the help

 

uh... if you had to break open the motor to put a stock HG.. you might as well do the thicker one..

dont break open the motor unless you are going to put a thicker HG...Alot of folks are still on stock HG like myself...and are pushing ALOT more power than i ever will.

Either make up your mind now for the HG swap to a thicker, or dont break open the motor..

 

oh sounds good, but the original headgasket that on the engine ( engine has 43000 miles on it) should be able to last?

 

yea itll be fine, dont mess with it!

 

only 43K? dood i'm hitting 99,913 miles as of today..* i actually looked down before getting out the car* and i'm turboed..and have been turbo'd twice..

the motor is completely fine.

 

Just do a compression test. That will tell u how well the engine is. That low of mileage you should be fine!

 

that is what i got out of my kit on a dyno pack 3000 404 whp and 265ftlb mine should be about 430 on different dyno but i called inline pro and they said that was about right on that manifold. at 19-20 psi. i also had 3mm headgasket. but you will make better numbers with the stocker. i think about 13-14psi should weild you 400whp on stocker. from what i have read

 

thanks guys another 500 i save on labor thx
