I am planning to go LsTurbo and i wanted to know how reliable it would be to piece a turbo kit together or how reliable it would be to go turbo at all. I am not a high dollar guy so just looking for advice before I start spending money and never stop

 

if you want straight up reliability....without any headaches or just want to save time...go with a kit....like greddy....ive heard people run that **** for like 10k with no problems...itll be reliable...just eithe rway choose quality parts make sure engine management is fully taken care of......and get a good tune

I have 10 K on my kit that cost $400, never once had a problem with it. So the key is to do your homework, and don't skip or go light in one area. And drive it sensibly.

 

Thanks for info keep it comin

 

Yeah my friend has a turbo kit for sale for $800. his oil line feed came off and put a rod through the block thats were the reliablity issue comes in.

 

if his oil feed line came off, then that turbo is probably fucked due to lack of oil

 

thanks for the heads up wantboost

 

 

um.... ok?
like stated before, your best bet for reliability is something along the lines of a greddy kit or something similar.

 

cheap and turbo do not go in the same sentence....you gotta pay to play

 

no you dont, you can play for cheap, just usually cant play for long

Cant make a junkyard reliable kit for under 1k

who wants to play for a month?

 

go with GReddy kit, put FMIC and BOV if the kit doesn't have these, and don't go more than 8 psi ... &lt;- this is reliable. Oh, and buy it new !!!

if the kit doesnt have these then its not a kit

 

No matter what you piece together, the reliability (if mechanically sound to begin with) will be found in the tune. Tune conservative and you won't have any issues. My LS-t was tuned conservatively and pieced togehter (The entire car) for under 4K. It was and probably still is very reliable

10k is reliable?

what in the ****?
