I'm sure it's on here somewhere but i've had a busy day and am feeling lazy. what do u need to convert a from mitsubishi turbo to a garrett. i know you can't use the oil lines from the mitsu but i was wondering what else you need. i've heard garett is bettter than the mitsu so i am lookin to upgrade this summer

i did it! you gotta do the lines... the swingvalve is different, so when your order your garrett, order a garrett swingvalve also, cause the mitsu wont fit it... you will also need a new wastegate actuator to go with the turbo. another important thing to get when ordering is to MAKE SURE to get the oil return arm and silicone pipe, this one thing set me back a whole week from getting my car done, cause i realized I had to get it. umm its a good Idea to intercool a garrett if you havnt already installed an IC, your fuel supply should be fine if your still running stock levels,

other small things to remember is to get a garrett wastgate actuator bracket
swingvalve bolts
downpipe spring bolts
oxygen sensor

I don't think Im forgetting anything, others chime in if you remember a detail or 2....

hope this helps!

How was the performance increase? Really feel a difference?

There is a pretty good difference in power once you start cranking up the boost, but if you are going to keep it low it might not be worth the time.

when I did it, It just felt a lot more solid, if that makes any sense... at the same time I did a DIY port job on the exhaust manifold.... the car has ALOT more potential now with the garrett, and yes, with the adjustable wastegate alone, I cranked the boost to 12.8 (its 12.8 because I have the digital dakota digital boost gauge) its not really that expensive to do everything, And I did it all without having to pull the motor.

You can fab a TII inlet from the mitsu inlet. Somebody just in the past week posted the pics. It won't be a full tII but The TI's are cheap to get.
