When you said problem................what problem?Tuscani_chick said:I've heard from numerous of my firends who have turbo'd there cars that they have problems. If you are turboing ur car, and it did not come like that stock, you are going to have problems, expecially if it is ur daily driver. Maybe not right away, but you most likely will. That is why I am heading away from boost kits and thinking about just doing an engine swap. No way 2 go wrong with that. Do it right with the right engine, and you can gain a sh*t load of HP. I have an I4 and that is also my goal. To build it up to 200hp by this summer. What will help you out is making a price/HP list. I did and it tells me how much HP each item will appx add, how much it is, an where I am going o get it from. Go by that chart and u'll b cool. And you'l also b able to keep track of how much money ur putting into your tib too. Best thing to o is make it up on Excel.
As much as that's a good idea, unfortunatly mod's dont stack up like that.Tuscani_chick said:I've heard from numerous of my firends who have turbo'd there cars that they have problems.

Why do you still need a CAI when you are installing a Turbo kit? Plan through and gather as much info as possible, will save you tons of money and problems in the long run.Jds121 said:From what I've heard if you want 200hp+ on your I4 tib (which is what I'm going for too, mine is an 06) you're going to need a new exhaust (the ark kit your looking at is a good choice, I myself am ordering the N2 Dual), a new cold air intake (fujita makes a good one and its the one im getting, aem isnt bad either, and injen has one but ive heard some fitting issues) and of course a turbo or a nitrous kit. Alpine Developments makes a turbo kit for the I4 tib and the kit w/ intercooler sells for $3500, it lowers the compression ratio of your engine down to 8:1 and at a mild 12psi its dynoed at 226whp (meaning more than 226hp at the crank, also something im getting). Of course without changing any of the internals in your engine and getting forced induction on a car that wasnt built to have it in the first place you probably will have some problems later on down the road but as long as you keep your boost level low and replace your oil frequently, you shouldnt see any major melt-downs. There's always the nitrous route too but thats gaurenteed problems for your engine and should really only be used on an engine with forged pistons or at low levels and used rarely.
I'm going the ARK N2 Dual, Fujita CAI, and Alpine Stage 1 Turbo kit myself for power and calling it a day, it should be enough.
because your intake on a turbo setup is just a piping hooked up to the turbo, as it circulates exhaust gases to the turbo, piping to the intercooler, and finally the piping ends up at your intake manifold. (hense Forced induction..) im not great at explaining but just read up on your stuff before you feel the need to boost your car, know the dynamics behind the process, insted of thinking a turbo is just a one peice installation)Jds121 said:Jsar, wait...I don't need a CAI if I get a turbo? How would a mechanism which deals with exhaust flow have anything to do with intake?
