    Galante's Turbo Project

    As the title says.. I'm planning of getting boosted.. BUT I'm being lazy to do further research.. I have read most of the turbo builds from club3g but I can't tell if I'm ready or not.. I thought I'm done w/ my G but i guess not.. I really hope I knew someone local who can guide me but there's none. There a performance shop close to my house and was thinking of having them do the install after I have collected all my turbo parts. I talked to the guy there and they do custom ic piping and dp.. but it would be expensive.. I'm not sure if i could get a package price for the whole install + tune.. not sure if that's the right path to take.. but yeah i think this is final..i'm going turbo..

    I have already pm'd most of boosted members here and they have been very supportive..

    I'm planning of getting this done real quick just like my exterior conversion. my goal is to obtain 100 - 150 hp.

    Btw, I'm gonna stay on AT.

    depending on how much power you wanna make then you can decide what setup to go with

    qnz is turbo on AT tranny and he did well over 250hp so you can go with a setup similar to his

    im not boosted but i did alotta research and i can help if you need anything

    good luck

    They told me $65 CAD per hour (includes the pipes).. Is that reasonable?

    that sounds cheap. the shop I go to in Florida for some fab work charges $95 USD/hr. I dont remember what the labor rate was when i had my piping done in NY but I think it was around $1000 for the IC piping + turboback exhaust + the vband flanges + piping material. I supplied the muffler and cat

    Ok,

    Parts list. I'm trying to look for places to buy them cheap.. I'm planning to buy the ff things for now..

    WRX 565 Injectors
    Walboro Fuel Pump
    DSM Manifold
    Big 16g turbo
    Oil Feed / Return Line
    Transmission Cooler
    Defi Gauges

    For the below.. I'm looking from evom.net..

    evo 8 ecu
    evo 8 fpr
    evo 8 fuel rail
    evo 8 knock sensor

    My questions are..
    1. The 16g turbo should fit on the DSM mani?
    2. Would DSM Mani flange fits our engine? or do i need spacers?
    3. Also the WRX 565 injectors would fit evo fuel rail?

    I'm asking questions to ensure I don't have issues w/ the install.

    Thanks

    1. yes, the 16g will bolt on the dsm manifold
    2. you will not need spacers if you use a dsm manifold. it does, however, put the turbo and downpipe too close to the power steering bracket and AC lines. you cannot use a dsm downpipe and will need to have a custom downpipe/o2 housing made.
    3. yes. i am using wrx injectors on a evo fuel rail.

    thanks for all the support guys.. I'm currently DL Johns knowledge on wiring dual ecu's.. I prefer to do drive the g using evo ecu while N/A before i install any turbo parts.. That should come easy i think once the ecu wirings are clear.. getting ready to get ecu flash/tactrix cable + boomslang harness..

    Just an update:

    I was able to download and installed ecuflash on my machine.. john send me a link where to get the evo stock base ROMs to play with.. It's pretty cool to see ecu's ROM metadata for fuel/timing etc..

    I'm currently looking to get evo 8 ecu.. if you find anybody selling pls. let me know..
