Alright, Looking to boost my 97 ls. Got a buddy selling me a greddy turbo kit. Complete. Not really looking for big power, use a little. Really i think i just want to do it to play around nothing to serious. Maybe looking to boost about 5-7 psi not much. I am going to keep stock internals. The big question that i have is, if boosting 5 psi as a daily driver, is it safe? it will it eventually blow?? Let me know Thanks

 

it could last 5 years, it could last 5 minutes.


you have to get the air fuel ratio and ignition timing programmed properly. too lean or too much timing can and will melt stuff quickly, namely the ringlands on the pistons.

 

hmm.. icic, Well i just picked up a Greddy Turbo kit today. WHat do you guys think?? came with turbo, manidfold, intercooler, bov, piping, down pipe, internal wastegate. Basically complete turbo kit ready to slap on. Is there anything else that i need?? like i said only looking about 5psi

 

engine management is key

so basically i got everything and all i need now is the emanagement?? and i can call it good?

 

my ls is boosting 10psi, NO problems for about 2 years now, daily driven.

 

the tune is key for sure but I would do a compression/leak down test to make sure everything is up to par first.

 

my car has been daily driven on 7lbs for a year and a half with no problems. its all about the tune
