Turbo, Turboooo Options

[Celica_Kid95st]

Whats up guys. Ok my friend is selling a turbo for like $100. I have a '95 ST, and not alot of money, but this kid i no said that u can still put it on without an intercooler and pipes and **** for now at least but not to wait like years u no. I'm wondering if hes right and i can just buy the turbo and weld it on. Is that right? If so what other things would i have to get right now, but i want the littest that i can cause i dont have like any money, like if i dont need it now then skip it. Aight thanks for the help. peace. -john

You don't need a new fuel pump, or new injectors. All you need is the equipment to put it on there. So yes, it would be similar to just welding it on. I'd recommend definitely an intercooler. Exhaust manifold and down pipe are going to be necessary. You might get the down pipe custom. The exhaust manifold will be easy to find though. You'll need a waste gate for controlling boost levels too. If you end up running into problems, then add things like fuel pump and injectors. If you run low boost, you should be fine.

Hey guys, please stop trying to scare off new people from doing these things. The best way to learn is to just do it. Not to say that telling these guys how to do it is bad, but telling them that it's a nightmare and they have no idea what they're getting into is. Just tell them how it is, don't make assumptions about they're mechanical abilities.

EDIT: This post really isn't to bad about blowing things out of proportion. I must have been thinking of other posts in combination when I wrote this. Things blend together sometimes when I read.
