Ive been thinking of replacing the turbo in my LNF and I am at a loss for what CAN even replace it? i dont want a big turbo with big lag. i want a good replacement with good response. and can boost me up int the 350WHP range.. Any thoughts? and potentiaol costs? also i dont wanna have to fabricate anything for it.. id like a simple swap..

 

K04+

 

there is a K04+??? can you give me some background on it??

thats all well and good but id have nothing to drive while im waiting for this to be done.. id rather just replace it.. and itd be cheaper as well in most cases

 

if you want cheap, don't change the turbo. a bunch of stuff needs to be re-done and the car will have to be down for awhile

 

You can always pay the full price, have it sent to you, then send them your old turbo. Not sure how much they would give you.

I would assume they would refund you 1100 dollars if your old turbo worked.

 

in order to replace the turbo, you will have to replace the turbo manifold, and in most cases the chargepipes as well.... there is no "bolt on" turbo out there for our manifold, and spending that amount of $ for a K04+ is pointless... you can get 350whp with the stock turbo... just full bolt ons and a good tune... if you want to change the turbo go with zzp turbo kit... you wont need anything else and youll be at 400whp+.... its pointless to spend $900 plus labor to do the wheel upgrade... just for 25whp...

 

mmm i dot think it works like thsat... how much would a replacement usually go for?? garret is always a good brand

 

This is a joke, right? They answered your question.

 

Yeah dude, theres no bolt up replacement.
Only option is the wheel upgrade if you want to upgrade your stock turbo. All other turbos available replace the exhaust mani, deletes the water lines and you will need a new intake and charge pipes. The only bolt up turbo available, I remember, was like a gt2871r from BTF that was modified to fit like stock and even had a machined turbo flange to make it bolt up. But BTF isnt around anymore which kinda sucks. He had a few ideas I liked.

 

i just wanted to see all options.. wasnt a joke.. damn looks like im stuck.. =[

 

Not worth it, i'd get either the 16g or the FP 68HTA from dejon.

 

i dont mind doin a lil moddin to stuff.. i just want a good replacement that offers good power and little lag... im tryin to reach least 350 WHP =]

 

That FP68HTA seems like the better option to me. The kit comes with everything you need for 1600 I think. The 16g is old and overrated IMO.

 

Tell you what, you can trade me your LNF for my LS and then you can upgrade whatever kind of turbo you want onto it Sounds like a fair trade to me

 

tell you what... you take the 575 payment a month and ill take yer LS.... that is a fair trade...

 

hahah **** that. You're talking to a guy thats on car #14 since I was 15 years old, trading in new car after new car. I was up to $610 a month, and now Im down to $303 a month. No thanks!!!!!

 

that is a high ass payment for a balt...how much was rolled over from ur last car? im at $403 with extended warranty, lojack, and tire & wheel warranty//road hazard ( no trade and 4k down and dealer employee pricing)

 

Unless you're trying to pay the car off in 2-3 years, something is very wrong.

 

WAT?!? Thats a pretty hefty payment, I'm at $350 /mo w/ warrenty and roadside plus I only pay $200 /mo for insurance, that covers my house, guns, and 3 cars... Life choices, time to reveiw them.

i pay 500 a month, i am also from canada and had a good chunk of negative equity

he is from the states, how you pay that much is beyond me

 

being in the army i was like meh i can afford it... shoulda kept my 2-4 balt... i wanna sell this thing for round 10 grand and just pay the rest off really.. but since i cant get rid of it i might as well dump go faster parts into it

 

Wow. That's a horrible idea. You're already miserably upside down. If you're dumping money into it, it should be into that loan.

 

were gettin off topic here guys lol.. unless someone is commin to ohio to steal my car and raid it of parts leaving it sitting on the ground and not cinder blocks.. then moving back to turbo upgrade options lol
