Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

 

[QUOTE=ShMooveS2k,Sep 10 2006, 05:03 PM] i would most definatley would like to learn how to install this when i return.

 

Installing a turbo is pretty straight forward.

Remove OEM header and replace with turbo manifold/turbo.
Install downpipe and exhaust.
Install front mount intercooler.
Connect all intercooler piping from turbo to intake manifold.
Remove oil pan and install oil return fitting.
Connect vaccum lines to BOV and Wastegate.
Connect oil feed and return lines to and from turbo.
Relocate oil filter.
Install 650cc + fuel injectors.
Install in tank fuel pump.
Install AEM EMS.

Get tuned by Church Automotive and have fun with peak tq # around 3500 rpms.

I'm still waiting for Mike to get tuned. I got alittle something for him.

 

what about my exhaust do i just take it to the muffler shop i have hks hi power duals i would like to keep the mufflers. but do i get the exhaust changed b4 or after the installation

 

Depends if they supply a midpipe in the turbo kit.

When I had the LoveFab turbo kit, I had Cody fab me up a midpipe that connected from the downpipe to my stock exhaust. I was running the Invidia exhaust at the time so it bolted up just fine. Since all aftermarket N/A exhausts bolts up to your catalyic converter (midpipe), you should be good to go.

The difference will most likely be the diameter of the downpipe. Optimal performance is gained by 3'+ especially on turbos. If you have a 3' downpipe that's clamped on to a 2.25' exhaust, your causing restriction, thus haunting performance. I choose to keep my 2.50' Invidia because I didn't want anymore power. My powerband was perfect for my liking. Full TQ at 3,200 rpms that stayed pretty flat tell redline, with a peak of 328rwhp at 8 psi.

Bottom line, if you want to keep your HKS, have the turbo kit supplier or muffler shop fabricate you a midpipe that will join the join downpipe to your HKS exhaust. If in fact the supplied downpipe bolts up to your stock cataylic converter (midpipe). You'll have nothing to worry about. Just call the turbo kit supplier for a definite answer.

BTW, what do you want to accomplish with the turbo kit? Will you be tracking, autoxing, drag racing, street racing or do you just want it for the fame? Just curious so no need to answer.

 

what i would like to acomblish is to have that avaiable power on tap, yea some people would think well get a muscle car but its just not the same ya know? i would like to track the car occasionaly but i still would like it to be under the daily driver catagory but with balls. the S is one of my favorite driving experiances
