Ok so i started my turbo build last week so i figured id start a thread, Ill post the parts im going with as they come in because im still debating on a few things, this will be a low boost set up 8psi. then down the road i will be building the bottom end and adding a stage 3 clutch to handle 14psi. Im going to be tuning with neptune, so obviously obd1 conversion. The car will be tuned by Matt shue, a local tuner in Richmond Va. Anyways enjoy.

Re: Greekpizza's Turbo build

Nice list minus one thing. I'm not so crazy for Chinese manufactured turbo's. That's like walking through a landmine blindfolded. I think you should pawn that thing off on someone else and bite the bullet and invest in a turbo manufactured by a reputable company.

Yeah i saw this coming, heres my opinion on them, ive never had one never had any turbo but i have 2 close friends who have ran them with great success, both of them told me to run thiner oil feed lines and that theyll run great, time will tell, but i plan on buying a greedy or precision later on. This turbo comes with a one year warranty so the way i look at it is a bought a turbo to last me a year and the price reflects that.

I've never met anyone who has run a Godspeed turbo so I can't really speak out of experience, I've only read reviews on them. I hear that they make good power but they don't last very long. I suppose it's worth a try being a temp. turbo and has a one year warranty (as long as it doesn't damage your engine).

Nice parts list. In for the end results! And I'm assuming your tuning on regular pump?
