turbo upgrade

[extremeatheist]

Pulled the intake off of the turbo and found 1/2 inch of shaft play. Instead of going with a rebuild or tbird hybrid, i want to upgrade a bit to at least a t3. my concern is the fuel system, and ecu. can they handle the upgrade. i got a guy to weld the vband onto the existing downpipe.

something along the lines of this. I know you have probably heard ebay turbochargers are the suck, but cx racing makes quality stuff, I've ordered a bunch from them.

There's some talk of CX Racing products in another thread, but I can't remember which one.

i know a few people who are running their turbos with no problems at all. I have run 2 of their turbos, intercoolers, piping kits, and bovs with 0 problems.

Yep, they seem to have good reviews. SO far all of the info I've got points to using a 60trim T3, but you'll need a chip and a bigger fuel pump.

the probinator will work? bigger fuel pump is no problem.

Probably. Not too sure. Michealknight or one of the other guys will know.

quick question (sorry to hijack) But the one link has an 8psi internal wastegate...Is it possible to up the boost with a manual boost controller? Or is this a spring-change thing?

for both of these... I would think u can add a manual boost controller to increase boost.

[xaster21]

ok. where, how much, and how much boost can i gain from my stock turbo. as of right now i am boosting around 16 psi according to stock gauge and aftermarket gauge

[jjcrews01]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a helluva deal for a turbo w/ these specs.

[xaster21]

oh yes and if uu dont mind can u tell me what the suspinsion button between the driver and passenger seats is for bc i cant tell a differince in the settings

Then you must have a chiped ECU and some form of a boost controler already... 16psi is plenty for the stock turbo.

Well, there's sport/normal/soft... I couldn't tell much of a diff either. And mine is useless now, since I changed my suspension.

well i bought this from some guy. i dont know if he did anything to it or not. so your saying that 16 psi is high enough can the motor not handle anymore. the guy has stock everything intake, exhaust, air filter. what u think
