My first turbo!!!

In the next couple of months I'm gonna be getting a rb20det in my 240 and it's gonna be my first turbo car and I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers as to what I can expect and what are some key things I need to know about turbo and how to care and clean them and things of that nature....

also, if ur the type to park the car, shut it right off, hop out, and go about ur business, a turbo timer would be a wise investment.

couldnt find it...

But yea, its best to buy a turbo time...Boost controller isnt all that necassary, oil temp/pressure gauge will be nice. Boost gauge also...Just make sure you do the oil change every 2500-3k miles, and i suggest after the first oh...500-700 miles, flush all the liquids and start fresh.

You can find some good turbo timers for around below 100, around 80-90.

spark & fueling! don't just turn up the boost ... do it right save yourself from headache ... air/fuel gauge & wideband O2 sensor is your friend
