If you researched you wouldn't be asking this. Just a thought.

Don't go cheap on your turbo (oil+coolant) lines. They are after all it's life-line. But hey if you like cheap and unreliable check out ebay, I'm sure they have some smashing deals!

 

[grimlin3907597]

what about timers and/or tuners imma get that what you posted and then my turbo would have no problem fitting

i have no idea what you are trying to say You either have to get the install kit or i guess you could use a 1g oil line. Turbo timers are about $100 bucks and a good tuning device is $100-600+ They do not have anything to do with installing a turbo though

ok im buying that install kit but im worried about my tuning after i get it? my mech stopped working on it and i dont know anything about fuel to air ratios and stuff thats mainly what im worried about.My mech. told me he cant find a upper fitting for my turbo so i have that resolved now. thanks I dont want it to run like crap.

okay i understand what your sayin now. Around how much cash are you going to be willing to fork out to tune your car? If your looking to go cheap i'd say get an air/fuel gauge and a SAFC, if your looking to do it right the first time get a Maf translator and a dsmlink(not cheap). Check Engine - DSMparts.com - DSM Performance Parts and you can get a general idea of everythings prices. This place might not be the cheapest but its where i order my stuff. If you live anywhere close to the border of n.c. you may want to consider going to a place called Miller Import Parts 2G Eclipse/Talon Parts :: Drivetrain / Mechanical :: Engines - Miller Import Parts He knows what he's doing on DSM's

i have 600 right now just to get it running good and then in about 6-7months when my money is flowing in again i will get the other stuff i already have gauges i just need that other thing what does it stand for im new at everything just starting getting into cars im putting new photos up of it

I don't spoon feed, dig through threads and do your own research please.

My best advice is maintenance before modification. If you don't know what your doing (like you've already stated), don't do anything and leave it to the pros.
If you don't want to fork up the cash...sit down and spend some time reading...seriously.
Everyone is in a rush to buy all these goodies and go fast without spending time actually knowing what they're doing.
