oh ok i think i may have been looking at the 3" piping. So the 2.5" borla/mopar will have no problems being installed?

Correct. And the one you were looking at was probably the standard Borla 2.25" catback exhaust...this Mopar/Borla catback is a total steal for the price.

I heard that in order to go above 10 psi i needed to get a new clutch and have the car tuned. However I don't have a manual transmission so could I safely run 10-12 psi if i get it tuned?

10-12 psi, probably not, but the mechanic will tune your boost as well, so I would let him/her worry about that.

okay so just about any mechanic would be able to install the turbo and tune it right? I could get it dyno tuned also but that is like 45 minutes to an hour away and i am not exactly sure where it is.

In theory, yes, any mechanic should be able to install and tune the turbo. With some direction anyone who's mechanically inclined could install a turbo really. When it comes to tuning however, obviously there are some people who are much better at it than others. A shop with a dyno would be more likely to see performance work so they would be better at tuning a turbo, plus a dyno makes it easier. Any mechanic should be able to get it set alright, but I would think the shop with the dyno would be your best bet.

ok well i will have to ask my neighbor where it is exactly, since he goes there once or twice a month to dyno his camaro SS, and then i can get them to tune everything once i get the turbo. any idea how much it is to tune a car at a shop with a dyno? is there a fee they usually charge or is it up to each individual shop to decide how much it costs?

Rates are dependent on the shop, and what kind of tuning they will be performing. I know some shops charge a flat hourly rate, while others charge a flat rate per vehicle, which usually includes three pulls on the dyno and the tuning. The cheapest I've ever seen for dyno tuning was $200.00 for a two hour session (usually two pulls). The most expensive I've seen was $500.00 for three pulls with tuning.

too tune feul on dyno is kinda stupid too me just get wide band and start of rich and work your way too where you want it little at time

but spark you have too tune a dyno because you have too find the most possible spark advance without detonating

03rt if you want too sell those injecter shoot me pm if. I have some 30lb'ers that I am maxing out. I would trade straight up but freaking lightning struck my lap top so it might be a while before I can put in new enjecters

youll want to make sure you get a base dyno before any mods, so you know where you started from.

oh, btw for some of you on here, im getting a little tired of seeing yall advertise your crap everywhere. im sure others share this opinion... thats why there is a CLASSIFIEDS section on this forum, to buy, sell and trade. you can find it here: https://dodgeforum.com/forumid_58/tt.htm
