Default Sooooo close to turbo.

My turbo kit arrives on Monday. After that ive gotta switch greddy box's with MD420, and then it can get installed. I got colder spark plugs, and new wires.........i also got a boost gauge and a pillar thing to mount it on. Where do i hook up the boost line under the hood?just need the rest of my stuff. I think im going to install the intercooler on monday, this way the installation will be less $$. I wish i had more time so i could do the install myself, but i need my damn car. I feel like a little kid.......boosted?................................ ...........soon.

You should be able to do the install yourself on a weekend.

Yes, install is fairly easy.


Boost guage hooks to a vacuum source directly off of the IM

The hardest part of installing is all the elctrical bs....other than that all the actual turbo crap is easy

So sweet. I cant wait to hear about the new turbo install. INstallation is only half of the battle. Tuning is the ohter beast tto be tamed (as I am finding out), and it has to be more entailed on a turbo than the Super D.
