pre turbo requirments....???
 

Ok so I have my mark 2 running good now and am of course turboin it. What besides purchasing parts would be suggested be done for 8-10 lbs of boost. I have been told the stock head will hold up to 12 with out any extra work..
HELP....

the valves will hold up fine its your head gasket tooo be worried about.
i would get head and block machined and go metal head gasket for sure.

especially if your planning on running more than 5 psi.

go for a good radiator, because with a turbo your gona be heating up, not too mention you will now also have too cool the turbo.

also an oil cooler would be a great idea, might wanna move your oil filter.

keeping your engine cool is a big deal.

ok well it was just totally rebuilt......everythin was so its all new but he oil cooler isnt a bad idea.....
