got me a custom 71mm turbo,new pedistal,down pipe... going to put it in next weekend... anyone have a turbo this big an how much boost do you get??

 

depends on what kind of turbo it is. does it have a compressor map?


that downpipe is gonna give you some trouble, if you dont have a long flex head socket wrench i suggest you get one thats about 18 inches in 3/8 drive and a 14mm crows foot will help with the nut on the passenger side of the down pipe.

 

ok does it take very long to switch out a turbo

 

the hardest part will be getting the downpipe and the up pipes unbolted. i went though two 12pt sockets getting all those pipes loose. they are really right.

i havent swapped a turbo before, but have been a bolt or two away when i was doing my heads itl be a breeze after geting the pipes out of the way.


off topic but, why do you have a 71mm turbo and no built trans?

 

just curios, how long did it take you to get the old one out.

 

depends on the year model because you have to get the downpipe out and the lb7 ones are a huuuuge pain in the *** to get out. i havent replaced mine yet so i dont know 100%
