questions pertaining to turbo...noob to boost
Im thinking of going turbo on my 96 LS but I have a few questions on it.
First off is 1200 a good price for a greddy 15g turbo kit w/310 injectors, fmic, fuel pump, down pipe, HKS BOV, cast iron manifold, and all ic piping?
How much boost should i run to be safe? I was thinking 6-8psi.
I did a comp. check a few months ago and got 195 across the board. Is there any other precautions I should take while boosting on stock internals, stock ignition, and no major tuning?
and uh...how much of an increase in whp should i expect?
TIA guys-n-gals, I'm really tired of being harassed by these neon srt-4's in my area!!

i personaly think the 15g is to small for that motor. 15g turbo kits or normaly for the d16's
besides a comp check, you can do a leakdown test as well. this will let you know if you have any issues with your rings, valve seals , etc...
whp increase , will depend on size of turbo, psi your runnning and how well it's tunned.
enough to whip on a STOCK srt-4, if he has a turbo upgrade and knows what he is doing . good luck.. , those motors are hardcore.

Everything was used in the same setup for around 3k.
Also what about plugs? What kind of plugs should I get? And what gap?

Re: questions pertaining to turbo...noob to boost (platinum00)
Thanks for all the help guys.
So what type of problems could arise from this set-up??
I dont really want to spend that much money and have to rebuild the engine in the near future.

Re: questions pertaining to turbo...noob to boost (misterxhybrid)
as long as you motor checks out ok now,, good compression and leakdown test.
get it tunned with a good fuel management system, and keep up on maintanance ( oil changes )
dont run around untuned.
dont boost over 8psi
dont use a fmu
you should not have any issues what so ever.
