Full Blown Turbo Kit
 

New to the forum and just purchased Full Blown's stage 1 turbo kit and was wondering what the best order to install everything was. I've never installed a turbo kit to a na car before so what sort of problems should I expect and about how long will the entire install take? Would've been a lot easier if it came with instructions so I knew where to start first. Hopefully going to start the install this weekend so it would be very helpful for the feedback before I go head first into this project.

I don't have a full blown kit but I do have a front mounted kit in which the only major difference is that I had to cut my crash beam. If I remember entirely correctly, this is the order I went in:


-Pre-wrapped manifold/downpipe/exhaust
-Pre-assembled BOV w/ correct spring and v-banded WG/dumptube to manifold
-Removed intake
-Removed front bumper/hood latch stuff
-R&R oil pan
-R&R header/manifold
-Clocked and installed turbo
-Cut crash beam
-Installed intercooler/charge piping
-V-banded BOV to intercooler (had to take washer fluid bottle out for this)
-Put front bumper back on
-Realized I didn't put the foam piece in, rinse and repeat on bumper
-Miscellaneous (vac routing/MAP and MAF sensors/installed other supporting components)
-Profit

I have 1, read my description. I would say my description is the bare minimum, if you have any what are need to keep your car for long-term. I'm finally getting a custom flex fuel tune from HRI the 1st of January, im so excited. Motor mounts, transmission mounts fixed the shuddering issue with slow take off releasing the clutch. I really wish billet clutch arm was available when I was doing my clutch. I really feel unsafe with the factory clutch arm in my Xtreme pressure plate.

What I don't agree with is the t from the oil pressure sensor to feed the turbo oil inlet. You want to do the same thing p&l did with their Turbo System oil feed. As well as the vacuum wastegate vacuum hose set up being shared isn't ideal. You want to tap your compressor housing and feed it directly to your wastegate and not share with your blow off valve. Besides that full-blown Motorsports has been a fantastic kit with a fantastic base tune ecutek map.

I had oil leak issues before deleting my PCV check valve for my crankcase and installing vent to Atmosphere catch cans.

I really hope you got the map sensor as the factory map sensor doesn't detect over 5 PSI if I'm correct and your car will not run correctly with the tune.

Thanks for the feedback guys! It'll really help when I start the install tomorrow night. I'll definitely start a build thread on here soon for pics and details plus any issues I run into.
