Ok, i've got a turbo kit comin in the mail for my 2.0L SOHC and i have a few questions regarding all the boost/vacuume lines for the internal wastegate and blowoff valve...

I know the internal wastegate is set at 7psi but i want to know if by using one of those boost contollers can i set it to say 5... or can you only go higher?

As for the BOV do i use the vacuume line from the throttle body to controll it or how does that work?

 

you will use the vacuum from the throttle body....that will work....
with the boost controller will let you adjust the boost neg or pos

 

What kit did you get?

 

i got a couple of ebay package deals actually.....

one was intercooler, pipes and BOV

the other was turbo, manifold, a and oil connectors.

 

i was told not to get the cheap intercoolers from ebay....i guess they are just basically a cheap radiator with air inlets....i dont know the difference between them but then again i dont know much about turbos either

 

what does a cheap intercooler look like? haha

i don't think it's that big of a difference

 

a cheap one will just basicaly look like a think radiator

 

You defintitely don't wanna go cheap on the intercooler or your engine could go boom!!!!!

 

id get a used srt4 one....they run like 75.00 off of ebay

 

I heard the SRT intercoolers don't fit the 1st gens...they will with some mods though. What do you think spud?
