NA injectors on a VLT comp will run lean as all ****.
stop being a dodgey **** and get some VLT injectors
lol eseyer said than done computers are very easy to instal as opposed to the injectors.
will this fix the problem?
also, i have put a boost controller on it but it dont seen to lower the boost at all cant get it lower than 9 ?? does any one know y?
yes because the boost controller is causing a restriction on the vacume line....
its just rule of thumb when you put a boost controller on you will gain a couple of psi... if you want to go lower take off your boost contoller.
you can only go as low as the actuator will let you... a boost controller will only allow you to run more boost.
thanks vlt 88 im new to the turbos so i need all the help i can get.
with no boost controler the guage still reads 9 psi
has my actuator been changed a mate sudgested? bigger spring or sum ****?
you CANT run na injectors with a turbo computer, they arent compatible....
Also get a decent gauge, most cheap ****ty boost ggauges from places like super sh*tty auto arent accurate
When converting from n/a to turbo how do you run the turbo water return line, where abouts would I have to tap into as it looks like the turbo engines have a t-piece under the plenum. Would the t piece still be available or would i have to make something up myself.
T piece into the heater line mate. I'll get a pic.

I'm looking to convert my SL to a turbo.. I don't really understand what is needed to be done. Who on this forum would be best to talk to?
And just for a basic turbo how much would I be looking at in price... And how hard is it to do and would it take long? I have two uncles that are qualified mechanics so they could fit install it but I just need to know the basics on it :S sorry Its been asked so many times... I've searched ad not many answer my questions.
Thanks in advance
You should be able to pick up what needs to be done from this thread alone mate.
Get a parts list from this thread and go and talk to your uncles would be your best bet, as they may be the ones helping you do it.
You could pick up a t03 for a couple of hundred dollars, but for the conversion, all parts your looking at anywhere from 800-2000. Depending on how budget you want to do and how lucky you get.
For example you could pick up injectors for 100 dollars and use them, or you may get stung 250 and then spend another 150 getting them cleaned.
But yeah definitely read this thread and right down the parts you need.
