For all you guys who have a custom turbo, what is the best way to start? For example: what part/s should you buy first, and what order should you put it on? maybe someone can do a step by step. Thanks

 

First you may wanna do a search before some guys come along and flame you. As for step by step, everyone started it differently but for more useful info check out the stickys ( they helped me alot when i started to piece my kit together. good luck

 

buy a turbo, manifold, or front mount intercooler. the most motivating parts.. from there its all smooth as butter

 

Here use this link and start from here

Trust me do your research.

 

sorry ... maybe i should of said i did search .. i found that one too .. but for me i was maybe hoping someone could put it into a easier way of explaining it .. i dont know everything about cars ... i just thought it would be nice to have a water down one ... sorry again

 

well no offense but if u dont know anything about cars maybe you shouldt do a coustom kit....but the best way to learn about cars is read.....so do some research

 

I couldnt have said it better myself!!!!!!

If you dont know alot about cars and turbos, a custom kit doesnt look good!!

Im telling you right now, turboing one of these cars isnt cake. You need to do lots of research and know what HP ur after, how much psi you want, and how much money you wanna spend!!

My advice, and the route i went without spending a ton of money in the process is to go with a TSI turbo kit, mod the kit some, buy an intercooler, walbro 255 fuel pump, recir BOV, boost control and run 7psi.

 

Those guys are right. I spent about 2 months of researching before I started my own project and I'm still learning about it.

 

im in the middle of put my own kit together and before that i researched it for about two months guess what im still learning if ur not sure about what ur doing then i think u should hold of on the turbo and research it a little more trust me thats wayyyy better then rushing into things

 

All these guys are true! I read up and all now I have $500 of parts left to buy before I go turbo!

 

will a custom turbo make you fail emissions? or CAN it?

 

It depends.

 

If you have to ask yourself that, definitely DON'T go with a custom kit. You seem to have your heart set towards it. I just recently purchased the TSI kit, and its affordable, reliable, and had everything I need (well..almost). It's better to have everything all at once, then to piece it together. My .02.

 

haha turbos in my 5 year plan .. its the 5th year .. im doing my research ... maybe ill start to understand it in 5 years *smiles*
