About to be boosted!
 
As the title says I'm about to finally take my car to a shop to have my full blown turbo kit put on. With this being my first car to boost is there anything yall would recommend me to get done or get the shop to take care of while it's in the shop? Already have an ACT clutch

Oil cooler, maybe a radiator, shroud, fans, more cooling.

Upgraded axles.

Maybe some better brake pads and tires/wheels to help put the power down and, and slow the car down from higher speeds.

Takes tons of picture i cant wait til my order from fullblown comes in. What turbo u went with?

patience. cars that weren't meant to be boosted seem to break a lot. i'm speaking from experience. don't rely on this car as your daily, until you know for certain that all the kinks are worked out.

Definitely will be going with larger fans and oil cooler and possibly a vented hood down the road. Is there an oil cooler you recommend?

I've been sitting on this since december saving money and trying my best not to rush it. I have a back up just in case things go south

For now I'll be running the basemap but eventually when I get a few upgrades I'll get it tuned for the 300 mark
