Before you guys put on your turbo kits, what things did you do to your engines to keep running safely. I'm seriously considering turboing my car at 4-6PSI regularly and occasionlly using an 8PSI as a high boost. What kinds precations should I take for this boost level??

If you want to get the project done without half a$$ing it then you will need to know alot about how a turbo works. Or at least get someone that is working on your car that knows what they are doing. The cheapest way to go is to learn yourself and install the turbo yourself and piece together a kit, but if you dont do it right then you will face the consequences. If you have somebody else do it for you then its gonna cost a lot more and they may not care about how your car is gonna be down the line. I spent 2000 on my turbo but i missed a bunch of things like preparing my engine for the pressure. I should have done more research and had more things done. If i did it correctly, then i would have spent around 3500 but i ran out of money. unless your planning on showing the car, a lot of that money is going to go down the drain and youll never see it again, its an expensive hobby and thats what the people pay for cuz its something they enjoy.
