*update* 1st turbo build
Tuesday, November 20, 2007 5:34 PM
(91 sunbird 2.0 tbi > mpfi + turbo etc..)


just a lil update, still picking up little things here and there...picked up all the gaskets..some gauges..spark plugs.

these are the steps i have listed for installing(all in order), this would have to be done over a weekend..as its my DD..

*replace fuel pump
*replace ecm
*swap intake/fuel rail etc..
*configure wiring
*swap spark plugs
*swap exhaust manifold
*mount intercooler
*mount turbo/ IC piping
*run oil lines
*run vacuum lines/check valves
*fit return/feed line onto oil pan/sending unit
*change oil
*install gauges

am i missing anything?


and im stump as to how im going to install the turbo etc, while i dont have a downpipe...the muffler shop sed i have to bring it in with the turbo hooked up..but i have no other way of gettin there besides driving it there. would it be alright to drive it there without a downpipe? lol


im sure these are the 3 things im looking for as far as tuning goes, just want to make sure

reminds me of when i first thought of boosting my car.

Seems like you have most of the stuff figured out. I just want to remind you though, you get what you pay for, and i would like to highly discourage you from buying junk, because it will only complicate things.

I know you can save money going with that stuff, but trust me, it's junk.

As far as your downpipe, don;t drive the car without one. Figure out how to get it to a shop, someone who does mobile welding, or someone who can help you do the whole install.
