yeah i know, another turbo swap post.

sorry guys. i did search and kept coming up with things i already new. so heres my questions.

1.) if i just swapped in a turbo engine and and tranny and such at first is it ok to not swap the rear end under stock boost.

2.) im doing an aftermarket LSD, do i still need to swap for a turbo rearend? (havnt done alot of work with differentials and such. sorry)

3.) running an S5 engine, full exhaust, fmic, and cone filter, what sized turbo would i need to reach around 350hp. also, does anyone have advice on a quick spooling turbo?

all of this is because i have a solid bodied car, but the previous owner didnt take great care of the engine maintance, so i think the NA will go out within 10k miles.
also, im building a drift car and am trying to get my suspension and such bought first and am worrying about power later. so im going to start saving for the swap. just curious. any help is appriciated.

1. under stock boost, you might be able to get away with it. But ideally you'd want a turbo rear end.

3. You would DEFINITELY need a turbo rear end if you want to use all that 350hp without blowing the diff. As for turbo options, consider a BNR hybrid. You would need to upgrade your fuel system, as well as fuel delivery/spark timing.
