Ok, so with the issues a recent OP had after installing turbos, and not replacing some parts we like to see replaced, we decided to make a post detailing what we think could have been done to avoid them. Here is a quick run down of what we feel NEEDS to be replaced when upgrading your turbochargers.
That should get your in a good place to reliably make good horsepower with no issues. If anyone can think of something I missed feel free to add it.
- Clutch ( Sped 2+ or 3+ are popular upgrades and seem to work well)
- Upgraded PCV valve ( we have these in stock, also consider valve cover gasket and PCV hose)
- Oil Catch can (BMS is suggested due to its short line routing)
- All Vacuum lines from pump to canisters, canisters to solenoids, solenoids to actuators
- All worm clamps on charge piping to T-Bolt clamps
- If not already done, upgraded intercooler, and non 3" catted DP’s
- Replace plugs with NGK5992’s gapped to 0.56mm or 0.022”
- Replace your intank pump wth a walbro 455 or run a walbro inline
- Replace any suspect coils or injectors
- Run only 91+ fuels and higher
