Turbo Installation HELP!!
Whats going on CL members I'm back and need some help.....I recently purchased an XS turbo kit for my 96 GS300 and I'm looking for a recommended shop or maybe a recommended person that can install it on my car and do a tune as well. My car is completely bone stock as well I'm not a speeder my car rarely passes 3000 rpms lol
As far as tuning Im not looking for performance tune meaning pushing my car to the very limit before the engine blows more like a street tune for a daily driver the kit is just for looks really but I am hoping to push at least 7 psi out of the kit hopefully get around 250-280 hp and just chill with that and continue on modding the rest of my car I have a couple of questions if someone can help with the answers
1. Can I install the turbo kit without a mapecu and have them tune my stock computer without the stock computer reteaching itself in the longrun, is it reliable??
2. Can I install the kit with just a innovative wideband gauge and boost gauge and take out the stock O2 sensors because of the wideband?
3. I know they say our motors can handle up to 9PSI on stock internals but how safe is it really to boost at 7psi on stock internals?? Should I consider a lower psi if anything??
4. Can I set up the turbo so that it starts spooling at 2000rpms?? (I know I'll be burning a lot more gas)
I think those are pretty much the only questions I have anyway incase someone on here knows somebody heres my number just incase 786-395-2842 just shoot me a text with how much money it might cost maybe someone is looking to make a little extra cash on the side if they have all the tools in there garage I'm in miami but I'm willing to travel a little bit to get it done cant wait to join the NA-T community hit me up!!!
Thnx in advance CL

To install you can contact Tomas 786-300-6050.
on GE motors don't waste your time with piggy backs.
Talk to Jordan and get a Megasquirt Standalone installed 954-376-0015.
Keep it simple, in my opinion.
