My turbo shit the bed last month. I've come across a GT2860RS for about $1150.
Anyways, as for mods/upgrades, the car is bone stock aside from a walbro fuel pump, fmic, ssqv and pod filter.
I am wondering about these few questions:
1. will the stock oil and water lines fit with the new turbo? Or am I better off getting a set of braided hoses made up? Or is there a kit somewhere? If anybody knows of a ready-made kit, can they post a link or at least some terms that I can google?
2. If there is not a ready made kit and I would be better off getting the lines made up locally by a hose shop or performance shop, what should I bring to them? I'm thinking I'll need the length of hose (obviously) as well as the banjo fittings and any other fittings (the tapered, barbed fitting for the water line near the stock boost solenoid).
3. Finally, will the stock ecu, afm and injectors be able to cope with the new turbo? I plan to stay at "stock" boost, regulated by the stock boost solenoid. After I finish school in April, I will look into different ecu or piggyback options, but right now the ONLY goal is to get the car running again safely.
I know there is another recent thread regarding the GT2860RS and supporting mods for it, however the owner of that car has forged internals that can handle a more aggressive power goal than I am looking at for the time being.
Thanks!
