If you have the turbo, put it in, man!

 

You are missing (maybe) the most important thing, which is engine/fuel management.

390's on the stock fuel pump doesn't qualify as management.

 

wrong section, *moved*

 

thats what i was gunna say. 390's are biiiig

 

Thats very important. BUT what about a turbo manifold? Duct tape aint going to fix that one lol. Make sure u get urself a good one too. Dont get a SSAUTO$hit one on ebay, and dont get an OBX one. The "Prettier" a turbo mani looks, the worse they usally are. Get a DRAG or GREDDY manifold. They are good quality. Also. Bro those injectors are worthless to u. Your stock motor should see no mroe than 7 PSI with a turbo. My stock injectors are 240CC and im boosting about 7 PSI, and theyre holdin up fine. Anytihng bigger and ull run way too rich. Use ur stock injectors, upgrade to a walbro 255lph fuel pump, and get some decent fuel management. Greddy emanage is Decent. I have that now but plan on going towards uberdata in the future. Sorry for the book here. PM me if u have any more q's

 

The stock motor will handle it, you just have to be careful with the boost setting. It's obviously not going to hold 20psi very well.

Also, with the turbo your CAI and header(s?) are useless.

 

i dunno man...ive seen some pretty nice looking turbo headers that work well

 

I think he just meant that cast iron is a good choice over something pretty.

 

tenx for INFO pplez ....great HELP !!!!
