Official Turbo LSJ thread!!!
i say what you need is a tuner man, at least a base map. if everything is setup and connected right then your car shouldnt have any issues UNLESS it isnt tuned. remember your changing to a completely different setup, and whatever tune you had before turbo swapping is not going to recognize any change your car has taken.

so its like speed density?? its taking estimates of the flows?? so a tune will help and make the maf work again or what do you guys suggest?? i dont wanna waste money on tuning if thats not the cure?
you changed the whole induction on your car, OF COURSE you're going to need a tune.

alright soo this is the lsj turbo thread.... i was going to run twincharge but i heard the iat's are really high??
is that going to hurt anything? or just loose alil power,
If it was going to hurt somthing what do yal think about the turbo tech intake mani?? and do i need a kit for the belt to run or is it ran the same way as the NA?

not trying to be a dick but i have the same tb code and another one and am getting another tb from zzp cause its throwing the car into limp mode cause of it after 30 seconds or so. it's not normal it's a problem. i have no other codes besides scip sensor cause ive been too lazy to look for it in the dtcs but besides the tb codes im fixing and the scip there's nothing as there should be... missfire codes you have leaks or bad plugs or worse....you can't just block the dtc and expect the car to ru n right you need to fix the problem......
I've already replaced my throttle body and getting the same codes, Im getting a new pedal position sensor just waiting for it to arrive at the dealership.
the random misfire is new since Ive turbo'd, I did not have this when I was sc'd. My tuner monitors the misfires closely, and Ive replaced the spark plugs, compression checked, leak down checked, swapped coils around, checked sensors. Nothing has changed the random misfires
Im fairly positive that I need to clean both my MAF and O2 sensors.
l8r,
PD
not trying to be an ass, just wondering what needs to be turned off specifically, wanted to make sure there arent anythings that Im overlooking

its possible, but you need absolubtely everything you need in place and order, including waterlines which are annoying, oil pan, and little things like that. but if you know what ur doing and have some extra hands on ur side it could be done in a day. i would start with the oil pan though since you gotta make sure the gasket dries completely. once you do that you can work on the rest of things while its getting dried.

I've got everything (i think anyway 
) with the exception of the oil pan. i have to wait and see what size fitting i need to get welded into it. I think the only problem I'll have is water/oil/vacuum lines. the rest is pretty paint by numbers so to speak. I'm pretty excited about it. everyone tells me I'll fall in love with my car all over again once it's done.

If it was going to hurt somthing what do yal think about the turbo tech intake mani?? and do i need a kit for the belt to run or is it ran the same way as the NA?
