Default Turbo is finally on!!

Well after the weekend of me and my brother slaving away we got off the supercharger and put on the turbo. I still need to do a lot of tuning but just getting a quick drive made me love it already. Everything went pretty smooth with the install until when we first started the car and all the oil dumped out. I acidentially put the oil relocation unit on wrong and there goes $30 worth of Mobil 1 on the garage floor.

Yeah I guess it looks pretty bad when you see the pic first. I will post a review once I get it tuned and running smooth (and maybe a trip to the track).

To clean the oil up I dumped a bunch of dirt on it to absorb it then I scooped it up and scrubed it with dish soap. Not the most enjoyable thing to do. As for boost I am going to run around 6psi and tune for that right now. In the future if the setup is running safe then I might bump it up to 7.

I loved the power that the SC had but I still wanted some power down low which the SC didint give much extra. I was about to spend a good amount of money making my SC faster (intercooler, smaller pulley, injectors, Emanage) and I thought that in the end it still wouldnt make up for that missing power that a turbo could provide.
