im new to turbo, help a guy?
 

Hi, im new to turbo and i just bought one, it doesnt have intercooler or piping or fuel managment system. whats the best way to go for the fuel managment and the intercool system? thanks

The BEST way to go???

The best way to go for fuel management would be Hondata. You can get a system for around $1200 with tuning and anything else you might need. This is not the cheapest way to go. If you have the money Hondata is gold. I would go for Hondata, but the closest tuner is about 300 miles away and I have been hearing that he isn't that good.

The next best thing for fuel management would be the AFC hack. Buy a S-AFC (or V-AFC if you have VTEC) and a set of DSM 450cc injectors with a resistor box.

As for the intercooler, the bigger the better. Go for a nice big front mount.

EDIT: What kind of car are you looking to turbo? If its a Ford than your ---- out of luck. :P I don't know if the AFC is compatible with Fords. The Hondata is out of the question.....well I guess I wasn't much help, huh? I always assume everybody has a Honda. ;)

I think UberTeg/John Doe's OBD1 boost tuner app has definite merit when compared to Hondata... comes almost as complete and well equipped as Hondata for an estimated $320 - you have to source chip burner seperately, but the $320 includes the burner's cost.

As far as Ford... uhm... check into a twEECker or an EECtuner. They are pretty fairly priced at ~$400, but your ECU may not be entirely supported... I know the 89-9x Muffstank A9L ECUs are, you might be able to do a little switcheroo since it's bank fired crap.

Oh yeah, depending on what model you have, I have a friend that is a distributer for Diablo Sport performance chips. I think most Fords can be chipped. Mustangs for sure. The chips are kinda pricey though. I could probably get one for around $250, but I would have to check. Retail is around $400.

Maybe a chip, :-XFMU :-X, and a fuel pump. Do you have a manifold yet?

The best thing you can do is get a Rising Rate Fuel pressure regulator for fuel management and a bigger fuel pump. That would be easier for a Newbie and will be good till 7-8 psi.
