Hi,I wanted to install a turbo kit on my 1995 24osx, 2.4 liter engine. There are Turbo kits avail. on ebay at good prices. Just wanted to ask how difficult to install a turbo kit and what parts are needed. On ebay turbo, manifold, intercooler, wastegates and all parts available. How many hours does it take to install one? Some out there have installed one can you please share your knowledge. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. What shops could you guys recommend to have it tuned or dynoed after i install the turbo.

Thanks,


!Zar!

KA's are dooky and blow up cause they weren't designed for power at all.

Save your money and dont buy the Ebay trash, Spend days and night searching Nico and reading, sucking up info, get out there and involved with some guys who already are building turbo cars and help them/watch them, go learn.

Whaaaat??? how would a part of an impeller get into the motor through the intercooler? Ebay turbo kits may be known for having shotty turbos that blow oil seals on start-up, cheap poorly designed manifolds that make it hard to stop detonation, and crack easily, shotty intercooler design that is leaky, thin a** intercooler pipes, cheap wastegates etc, but Ive never heard of one just breaking into peices and being ingested by the motor.
