I'm getting a turbo for my car 98 manual this winter. the guy said i didnt have to replace anything in my engine as long as i used a 9 shot. is this true. i dont know much of anything about turbos and i am just making sure that everything will be ok.

 

A 9 shot? Do you mean only run 9psi of boost? But yeah, I've heard the motor can handle around that amount of boost without doing anything extra to the motor.

 

You'll be fine on 8-10 pounds of boost on stock internals.

I do however strongly suggest a cam and valve springs regardless.

Do you have a DOHC or a SOHC?

 

yeah i meant only 9lbs of boost. sorry. what cam and valve spring should i get? i have sohc

 

either the Crane #12 OR #14, don't forget to get valve springs too.

 

A 14 is a very aggressive cam. Its great for turbos. The 12 is fairly aggressive but its more of a streetable cam.

 

Hey Crazy, speaking of cams, would a 14 get me anything over a twelve w/ my engine set up? Any other oppinions would be great!

 

Yes. But be prepared to break stuff with the 14 with your current setup. Its very aggressive and lopey.

 

Like what? and how?

 

Mainly mounts.
