what do you think about turbonetic?i was thinking about the installation, around how much isto get it installed? do you know any place in phoenix Az? or a car club that could help me?

 

cant really help you on where. An install of these isnt all that difficult. And turbonetics makes very good turbo's as well. They dont make a whole kit though.

 

Had a Turbonetics on a volvo once... it was actually cheaper than getting the TD04L from the dealership... also a lot more powerful and spooled up quicker IMO.

 

so, do you think i can do it by myself? i actually have a lot of tools, and i was thinking to do it by myself, well... with my brothers and friend(he's is mechanic) help. i just want to make sure that i'm not putting to much psi in it.

 

Another question about a turbo on a 420a. If you install a turbo on a 420a what in terms of an exhaust will you need? Will a exhaust for a gst fit?? or do you just need a down pipe to go the cat?? I am trying to find all the peices of the puzzle before I get my hands dirty. Thanks for the help.

 

To turbo a 420A, you will need.

1.) God in your life.
2.) A case of beer, or 3.
3.) Luck
4.) Money to replace to the blown up parts.
5.) More God

 

A gst exhaust will not work simply because he car is not a gst.
Its an entirely different engine and drivetrain. By adding a turbo to an RS/GS, that does not automatically make the car a GST/GSX, its just a 420A with a turbo on it.
When you pick your exhaust, buy one for a 420A, and worse case scenario is you may have to do a little fabricating.

Even though I know its been said a milion times, I'm gonna say it again.
Don't waste money on turbo'ing an RS/GS, buy the time you've spent all that $$$, you could have easily bought a GS-T/GS-X for what may possibly be less $$$.

 

with whatever you get, you have to make sure you can get a manifold for that turbo to install on your car. And for exhuast i would suggest getting something custom made. Your gonna need a new downpipe to match at the turbo. And you definetly need bigger piping. But before you start buying stuff. First build an entire list of everything you need. Put a price next to them, and add it up. Then decide if you really want to spend it.

 

I know by installing a turbo on a 420a it doesn't make it a gst... And in regards to buying a gst or a gsx, i dont have a spare 7G's. I payed 3 for my GS and I was looking in the classifieds and there is someone selling a kit for the 420a for just over a grand and it only has 1k miles on it. So I would have a turboed GS for about 5k Engineer, what size exhaust would i be looking for?

 

Youll need a lot more beer, for this, lol.
