is it a good idea to put a turbo in my car?
here is the turbo kit I'm interested in buying this kit

i would say "NO" to that kit. It's untested, and from an unknown vendor. There are only 2 turbo kits I'd consider..

#1. Wagner Turbo -- my favorite turbo kit by design and parts

#2. HiBoost Turbo -- the best source of engine management

I would recommend buying the wagner kit and putting the HiBoost Haltech on it for best results.

 

what kind of clutch should I get if I'm gonna boost it?

 

warranty + turbo = poof

 

yes, the powertrain warranty gets voided. but i dont think he is going to care much about a warranty if he is adding a turbocharger to a non-turbocharged vehicle.

 

He asked if it was a good idea...
My answer: not if you want to keep your warranty
Asking such basic questions like "what turbo" and "what clutch", I'm not going to assume he knows that.

 

ummmm I know it will void warranty

 

Pakman, if you buy a QUALITY kit it will be reliable.....also, anytime you turbo a car you need to be VERY up-to-date on your maintaince.

 

i have to agree with this guy. its all about quality. i however like the MAMotorsport turbo kit.

 

I have seen both Wagner and MAM kits and they look IDENTICAL....I even remember Andy mentioning how he should be getting commision off the MAM kits since they were such a close copy.

 

Or you can just wait for Roddimus to finish the supercharger kit. If this guy ends up not buying my P5, that's what I'm going to do.
