help...bigger turbo from stage 2?
My Question..
can i just replace the turbo (ihi-30) without the fuel mods, and reflash? ive got the supporting stuff done, catless up/down, and exhaust. I have already ecuteked, but cant afford to do it again.
How will the car run using a bigger turbo, any boost issues. and is it worth the money for now. and what gains would i have? and is it safe?
thanks..

The exhuast work you have does'nt support having turbo. It more just helps it boost more, and flow more. As for putting the turbo on there with no fuel upgrades/or tune it has been done, and they ran safe BUT they are pushing it I think, and most shops will tell you the same thing. If your going to do it at least get a boost controler and and make sure your boost stays under 15psi (get a guage if you don't have one). Really I think it would be smarter to get some engine managment with the same amout of money you would be spending on the turbo (unless your getting a deal). then get the injectors, pump, and another re-tune. I think you would be happy with what you have but tuned.
You can bolt on as many mods as you want. They really won't be doing to much, or as much as they can unless you get the car tuned. What I did was all exhuast work, intake, front mount, pully, boost control, turbo inlet pipe, something im forgetting and then got it tuned...getting it tuned was the only thing that made me feel a difference. I have the ECUtek.
