Need Turbo Info (Very general) I am considering getting a turbo (I hear good things about the TTI Kit/system).
Just a few questions needed answered:
-I assume that I lose my long tube headers for new turbo headers? The rest of the exhaust stays???
-What all can I expect to buy (ie. boost gage, fuel add on's pump/inj etc.)
-I think it's prolly a good time to get a new clutch to handle the power (thinking Spec Stg 2 or 3). I am gonna leave the rear, 3:42 seems good for a turbo car. Don't plan on running anything sticky.
Anything else would be appreciated.
Thx

Your exhaust will probably stay but may require some extra fab work.
You will need to get a lot of fuel stuff, pump, regulator, injectors, etc also you will need to have your timing and fuel maps tuned.
In addition to fuel and tuning you could definantly use a few gauges, some good ones are Boost, Fuel Pressure, Wideband air / fuel ratio.
Overall you should count on having a few thousand dollars beyond the kit price for extra stuff.
