Before Turbo Installment?

Before Putting in the Garrett turbo kit, I was planning on Getting a full service done on my car and getting a tune-up. For the tune up, who is the most reliable to take my car to?

umm, you will be doing the tune up during the turbo process, you will loose collant when you intsall the kit, so u need some dexcool available...you will loose oil as you need to drop the oil pan, and possibly switch to some colder plugs, also thicker oil woulndt hurt...so any t une up u do before the install will be waste as all the oil will go bye bye, coolant will go to the ground, so yeah...just have 5 qrts of oil ready, a gallon of DEXcool, some wa wa for the dexcool, and thats all the tune up you need there

The tune up isnt done during the turbo install...yes, part of it is. But you forget the fuel filter, fuel pump, etc.



And you'll need a bit more than a gallon of coolant.


Its recommended by well..myself. to buy a flush kit and flush your system before (or) right after the install.
