I'm not sure this Is all new to me. But If the turbo is 12 psi and I've seen up to 15 on some sites, that's just to high for my engine. The T Bird is also a heavy car. I was thinking maybe a t3 from the mk 4 golfs might be a better fit. Anyone have any thoughts? I might be able to do the job better. Remember I only want to get up to 200hp On the car. The more I read the more I get confused.

That would also work. But remember smaller turbos spin up quicker but don't through out air as fast.
Probably a better choice.
Is that kit looking good yet?

I'll have to re look at it, I found The MK4 turbo used, to be about 250 From a scrap yard. I'm going to make the manifold my self out of stainless. I need to buy a rad anyways for my car so I will get the rad fan and intercooler from I think mishimoto and see if I can get a discount on a bundle.

I have the Intercooler turbo, and air intake from the t bird just wish I could use the tbird turbo. Then i just need to buy piping and the gages.

I will know more once I get the engine cleaned and painted. I will then see where and how the turbo will fit.

Thank you for your help and thoughts.

Blow off valve, ecu, oil supply to turbo and possibly cooler?

[TheArchitect]

Yeah I have the oil supply just need to get a new pipe and tap into the oil pan. inter cooler I might get another one that longer and not as fat. Blow of valve is on the turbo. but theirs no control other then cutting or extending the arm.

Lets say i did use the t-bird turbo and say its at 12-15 psi, can I not just increase my intercooler volume to reduce the temperature. Or is it the pure pressure that i'm inducing into the engine and the increased fuel that will be the problem?
