Welcome to NICO!!!, what do you drive?Yes, you should get a VB mod (valve body modification also known as a shift kit) done as well as a transmission cooler. I don't know what you drive, but aturbo is really hard on an engine that was not built for a turbo. The engineers that designed your engine never imagined there to be that much compression in your cylinders. Forged pistons and rods, as well as sleeving the block can eliminate that problem,but it's $$$ and lots of it. Also a turbo'd car is not as reliable as a naturally aspirated one. Plan on working on it a whole lot. You might talk to some of the guys in the 240 forum, they turbo theirs a lot more than the Maximas. If it's something you plan to do, I'm sure you can find a lot of help from the guys and gals at NICO. Learn as much as you can before proceeding!
