2.4 turbo build (for the haters! )
starting a thread for my build ..im going turbo on my le5 (most parts already in the mail! )
i wasnt going to post a thread because i know all the negative feed back im about to get but f*** it ..i think this will be interesting to see the responses and quite frankly just see what happens! ..after months of researching what will be best and y and how and blah blah ..ive decided to go with an ebay turbo! ..i kno ..i kno.. but to be honest (no offense to anyone whos goan zzp or hahn ..more power to ya) i dont see the logic in spending 3k + on a le5 ..i can get for 400 to 500 bucks..if i blow the engine ..ahhh man ..400 dollars and ill lift and drop a new one (ill probably buy one first and build it for a while )..if the turbo craps out ..ahh man 150 dollars down the drain ..what a shame ..it will be fun to play with and no matter what happen..alot cheaper !
ill be happy with 8 psi
list of parts:
ebay t3/t4 turbo .57 trim
tail .38 mm wastegate 8psi spring
