2g stock boost and torbo swap

[spartan69x]

i have a 62 tsi thats mostly stock except for a cold air intake and full exhaust with no cat. and im looking to upgrade to a garret t25 bb turbo and the new loe p inline mbc but i have never installed a new turbo or a mbc before and would appretiate any advice if this is a decent swap since its a daily driver and im only looking to run 10 psi and dont know how to check what my boost pressure is.

Is your profile up to date? You need an aftermarket boost gauge bro.

i have plenty of time under the hood i may be 18 but i start collage for all this very soon but i have to have this to drive 200+ miles home on weekends and what not i just want all my facts to be sure and could anyone guide me on where to hook up my boost gauge on the 95 and possibly where to buy one and a mount for it thanks.

oh and just curious if i start boost my stock turbo to 10 to 12 psi is that going to hurt anything in the engine or is that pretty safe for just 93 octane dd

No that is safe

...and i was stating there are many many post on what u asked for, did u try searching...?

or try vfaq.com for detailed instructions....but the boost gauge will be connected 2 a vacum line, mine is off the manifold...just add a T in the line, run to the boost gauge, conncect the power wires, and mount in the pod of your choice.

And a garret t25 bb is a waste of time and money. Don't worry about upgrading your turbo until all maintenence is done:

Timing belt, BLT, trans fluid, motor oil, plugs, wires, etc,

and all the small mods are done:

Upgrading stock IC hoses to hard pipes, BOV, boost gauge, MBC.

Best of luck on your collage. What is the theme?

Oh, you meant college. Hope you plan on taking English.

Where you going to college??? Don't go to Wyotech if you plan on taking high performance. I'd go to UTI, it may be a year and a half, but you'll learn more than Wtech. Boost gauge go to your local auto parts store, or autometer.com. Try this for more info on your car man...Visual Frequently Answered Questions - Home Page

Do not even bother looking at the performance upgrades until you have done all the maintenance yet. Not trying to come off smart, just trying to help you out in the long run. Do a compression test to see what shape your car is in also.
