Going LS/Turbo, automatic
Hey all, I've taken the turbo plunge! I went with a RevHard kit, T3/T3 turbo, intercooler, BOV, Tial wastegate, turbo timer, and boost guage is what I'm starting with. Using stock internals (except Skunk2 cam gears), stock ignition, stock auto tranny.
Here's my questions... When do you need larger injectors? When the car starts to go lean too often?
Are turbo cars quieter? Truth is, I've never driven in a turbo car. But I'm wondering if they really are quieter? What if I use a straight pipe? Does the turbo spooler "muffle" some of the noise? Other than the BOV, what noises should I expect? (and the BOV should only make noise when I let off the throttle??)
One more question... I have a custom made triple pod cluster. But the only guage I ordered was the 60mm GReddy boost guage. What two other guages do you guys recommend? (and what brands? are Autometer ok, or do they suck?) I figure an air/fuel ratio guage (but it has to be a good 60mm round one), and a temp guage (but temperature of what? the exhaust gas? tranny?), or would an oil pressure guage be more useful? I just want the three guages for now...
Thanks!
