If i got a turbo kit from turbokits.com, would i need to buy a piggyback?

 

quick answer, no

 

quick reply, cool.

 

so i can just keep my ecu or whatever that thing is called (don't know correct term) stock and do nothing to it?

 

yes, though it would benefit greatly from having a piggy-back ECU or even a standalone system

 

now is the rrm piggyback compatable with kits other than their own?

 

yeah, you don't have to have a turbo to even use theirs, it just sees the greatest benefits that way

 

cool, thanks man.

 

Camaro - go to my site, www.jivemotorsports.com and we are selling the exact kit as turbokits sells. Im actually a distributor for them and am hosting a group buy on their kits. Click the link in my signature below to see the thread for the group buy. Thanks and just wanted to let you know!

 

actually that isnt true. there are 4 piggybacks that rrm makes for our lancer currently: the NA standard, NA auto, turbo stg2 standard, and turbo stg2 auto. the stg2 turbo pggyback is tuned for the big t28, the specific injectors, etc. it wouldnt be tuned properly for the turbo-kits.com kit.

 

thanks mike....thats what i was gonna say

 

Thanks for the new info, i'll check out that site.

 

one more thing, so u guys are saying its safe to stay with it stock and don't need to do anything to it like piggyback or anything of that sort.................

 

Unless that turbokits come with some kind of engine management, you are going to need to find a way to control AFR, timing, and boost. Bolt on a turbo kits is the first step, but without good engine management and a reliable tune, you goign to end up wasting your time/money plus ur engine. The best mod for you right now is to get a book on turbocharging. It will help you understand what you're doing, instead of asking ppl what to do. Most dont know what they're doing anyways. Modifying a N/A car into a turbo car is a much more involve process than a given factory turbo car. Just my 02 cents. GOOD LUCK...!

 

^^^u da man!!

I'll go look for one as soon as i can.
