have a 2000 si and bought a garrett gt t28 turbo because i heard it would be cheaper to build my own kit. my problem is i need to no (besides injectors, ecu, intercooler,bov and wastegate and manifold) what else to i need? also if anybody knows where i could get these things i need for a good price please let me know thanks in advance

 

You'd get much better answers if you posted this in the Forced Induction forum.

Aside from a crucial good tune, I'd say you would want a boost gauge to monitor how your turbo is behaving, a turbo timer to better cool the turbo, and an oil cooler kit.

Sorry, in my preparations for turbo, I want mine to last as long as possible, so those are also on my list for forced induction. How about preparing your engine? Are you getting ready for higher boost? One part on my list is a sleeve for my block to prolong the life of my engine.

PS- I assume the oil return lines and piping and such aren't on the list, but you already have them?

 

how do i prepare the oil lines and thanks for the reply

 

You can either tap out your own, or find an oilpan in the market place thats already been tapped for an oil line.

 

Tap your oilpan, or get one that's been tapped. Not sure if there are any aftermarket ones out there though.

 

yeah you can buy a moroso oil pan. it's like $160 bucks, and it comes with a bung for you oil line. i think it has an extra one also if you you to run a oil temp or pressure gauge.

 

Oooo....

:Adds "Moroso Oil Pan?" to Forced Induction List:

 

besides the intercooler piping are there any other piping i need

 

I think you're overthinking this.

There's piping that goes from the exhaust manifold through the turbo, and down into the exhaust. Then there's the piping that goes from the wastegate to...anywhere away from the car. And then there's the piping that goes from the turbo to the intercooler, and out of the intercooler into the intake. That's it bud.
