Guys!!

i have an install project planned this Saturday on a local install day, but something from work came up that requires me to be there @ 4pm... it will take about 1 hour from the install day location to get to work, so i will have to leave around 2pm to be safe...


the install day starts @ 9am... so from 9am to 2pm... that's 5 hours... is it possible to pull off a turbo, injectors, and plugs install in that time frame???? i'll get help from few very experienced guys, but i do not plan on rushing the install. Anyone did this kind of installs before in less than 5 hours??

Please let me know before Saturday hopefully. Any advise would be appreciated.

I will change my install plan if you guys think its impossible, i'll just install the easy stuff that day, and be safe.

well, it maybe possible with experienced guys but when you have a deadline there is always pressure on everyone and things can get missed just due to the pressure (assuming there is plenty of time) and then you can hit a snag and then what...just do it on a day you have no pressing matters.

You have to deal with the exhaust bolts and they r known to be seriously troublesome...u break a stud etc...just my 2cents

Are you going to a rotated setup or stock location turbo?

I honestly think it shouldn't be a problem as long as you aren't standing around playing grab-ass the majority of the time .

I think it can be done. Whoever is it doing will have to stay busy and know what they're doing.

Thanks guys for the tips

the turbo is bolt-on Tomei M7760 (20G equivalent)

injectors are DW 740cc side-feed

and plugs are NGK 1 step colder

I say do it someother time. Things can go wrong. Dont you need a tune before you can drive on the injectors?

I'll have to disagree. I think it will take you longer. To remove the turbo you will have to remove the downpipe, lines, etc. That part alone can be pita. Then once the old turbo is removed and the new one bolted up, it an can be a pain to install the inlet and everything else. There are plenty of things you can and will run into when installing a turbo and injectors. If you have lots of practice doing turbo installs on STIs, then maybe you can get close to 5 hours, but I don't think it can be done in five hours flat for a first or even second timer.

i got a limp map from my tuner....


i think you guys r right, I should just do the turbo some other time... i did a turbo inlet myself, and that was a PAIN and took 6 hours!!

don't want to mess things up, and leave me stranded, and piss off my boss all on the same day...

yeah i tried doing that about a year ago...if you run into problems ur ****ED! i'd just change the turbo and run low boost. then u can do the flash when u upgrade ur injectors cause that'll only take 45mins

Good choice. Might as well do the install + tune all in one shot. It should cost less when done together, instead of two sessions. 5 hours is possible, but as someone said before, exhaust bolts can cause major issues.
