by the way, this was a N/A 2.3, instead of dropping the already turbo engine, im doing it the other way.. big plans for after the initial install.. some major head work to be done after i get it running initially.. gonna do it in spurts due to money

i realize now i should have gone for the non-tech forum, i guess its force of habit to go straight to the tech forums though.. thats where i spend all my time reading and getting info!

You should do some kind of write up on how you did that since a lot of people have asked about slapping a turbo on the NA 2.3 ... how much boost do you plan on running?

plans are to start out with a tune to 6-7, then run about 10-11 after my numbers settle and are ok. im running a t3 45 trim turbo so if i want to go higher in boost, im planning on maybe a bigger turbo/intercooler like maybe a t3/t4 50 trim or maybe a 60 trim.. and yeah ill think about doing a write up about all this, we are sorta just taking the project in stride and really arent sure what its going to put down so im stoked to see her on the dyno

I'm curious as to what kind of number we'll see too, sounds like a neat project. Did you prep the internals or just add the turbo? Looking forward to a write-up.

just added the turbo, internals are in the planning stages as to what i want/need to do, but i do know some head work all around in the way of springs and such and a head gasket (later than sooner hopefully )
