Before you ask about a TURBO!
If you're going to ask a question about a turbo here on DSMtuners, be sure you've read this message. We're going to be a little more strict about how turbo questions are asked in order to maintain the high level of quality in the forums.

- Before you ask:
1. Be sure you have your vehicle's mods listed in your Profile.
2. Be sure you understand what supporting mods are needed for larger turbos - check the Tuning Guide linked at the top.
3. No "X"-Turbo vs. "X"-Turbo threads... these are never useful.
4. Use the Private Message feature to ask members about their setup.
5. Please avoid asking questions about turbo specs, unreleased turbos, or other questions that can be accurately answered by simply calling the manufacturer directly.

- How to ask:
1. List your budget for the turbo and the supporting mods.
2. List your goals - 1/4 mile time, hp, and what the car will be used for (drag/road race).
3. Ask about specific turbos.
4. Title your thread specifically about the turbo you have a question on.
No "which turbo should I buy?" titled threads.
 
i am wondering on what is the cheapest way to transform a stock talon into a 12 second 1/4 miler.
 
Rule #1... the most important thing a DSM'er needs to do before ANY kind of performance mod is added is to make sure his/her DSM is in top running shape. like Plugs, wires, timing belt, ACC. belts, fuel filter, fluids. You get the picture. Once that is all up to par THEN start modding, if not, then your going to run into problems. Good luck!!
