T70 Turbo Installation

I just got a T70 Turbo.

What would else do I need for the car?

Like list everything I should do.
From my mods, let me know as far as what I have to do. Like I know I need new injectors and such but list everything as I don't overlook something and blow up my car.

manifold, block off plates, oil lines, wastegate(tial), blow off valve, front mount intercooler if you dont have one, 1600cc secondary injectors, move your stock 850cc injectors into your primary slot, bigger fuel pump(rotary performance), bigger fuel lines. you can do a search on fuel system for the fittings and lengths and stuff. hope this helps. you can pm stevenoz, he had the same turbo. get ready for super dooper lag.

I believe its a Turbonetics but does it really matter?

Also, as far as the turbo lag, its a a/r .70 so it shouldn't be to bad no?

Please explain what the a/r stands for as I have a slight idea but not confident.

And I don't believe its going to cost 10G as I priced out everything stated and it was NO WAY near 10 Grand.

10 grand is conservative if You dont want it to blow up. Its is very easy to spend 10 grand on a conversion plus another few if You do it right.

I spent about 10k on parts ALONE! About another 6k-7k on Labor, porting, Tuning etc.

Bare in mind zoomzoom is including the labor cost of replacing a couple motors along the way

I think it depends on what you start with. If you just need to upgrade the turbo system, not the fuel system, ECU, cooling system or IC it should be under 3k for parts. Tack on another grand or two max for labor and you're done, assuming nothing 'unforunate' happens along the way.

-turbo
-lower intake manifold (500-800)
-downpipe (200)
-Wastegate (450)
-BOV (150)
-lines, gaskets, airfilter, bs (300).
=~1900+turbo worst case senerio.

Fuel system
1600cc injectors, rail, resistors, primary rail threaded to accept 6 AN lines, fuel pump, SX regulator=700 (try keith's rails).

Intercooler:
1000-1500

Radiator:
450

Hope you didn't get the e-bay "Super T70" with an a/r of 0.7. I've been asking the same question about this Super T70 on ebay. This is definitely not a Turbonetics T70. Judging by the size of the housing, which can't be more than 6 inches across with a 3 inch compressor inlet, this looks half the size of the Turbonetics T70.

the guy that gave it too me said it was turbonetics and he is a man of his word so I am pretty sure it is.

But I might be selling it cause I never expected it to cost 10G for it.

B.t.w, I have all reliability mods done so I think you might be able to deduct that from the 10G.
