CT26 Upraded Turbo?

redmaro · 08-10-2006, 02:49 AM

Few Questions
My current Turbo has an oil leak and it seems to be the O ring. Would buying a diffrent Turbo fix my problem?
What things will I have to change If I buy an upgraded turbo?
Will I feel a noticiable diffrence if I buy an upgraded turbo?
Will I be in the low 14's if i buy a upgraded turbo?
Help a newbee please.

the boost on the turbo and how high it boost depends on the turbo and if u have it set to boost high via a boost controller. um if ur planning ot upgrade ur turbo either have ur head retorqued down, or what is more highly recommeded; get a metal head gasket and machine the heads flat. dont get anything ridiculously big if its the only upgrade u have so far. if ur tryin to go big make sure to upgrade ur exhaust. and u probly want to get a new intercooler

yes, if it is leaking buying a new one will of course, or repair the one you have.

Yeah, Just get a new ct26 or have yours fixed. It is good untill about 12 or 13 psi. If you want some fun out of it, do the standard intake/exhaust/manual boost controller, And turn it up till you hit boost cut then back it off a little. You also might want an aftermarket boost gauge when upgrading. Boost cut is about 12 psi ish.
