alright my bro n law had a t3/t4 hybrid and im thinking bout going remote...this is a 2.5 n/a 5 speed shadow bone stock...

i know i could get a 1 gallon can for the oil feed...use 1 pump for going to the turbo and one pump for return to the can...

im not going to intercool now i so i thought about getting some aluminum piping and running it from the turbo straight to the TB...good idea? thats how STS does it..

as far as timing goes what should i set at?

im going to get a 255lph fuel pump...and better ignition..those types of things...

reckon all of this would work? gimmie input! thanks guys!

After you bother with all of that, youmight reach the power levels that you could by running a regular 2.5 T motor at a little higher than stock boost lenvels thru and intercooler, from a turbo 2.5 donor car. Swap in a motor, trans, and wiring and computer woudl be alot easier than the fabrication you are going to be doing. Not to mention that you will be pulling that broken motor out soon anyhow, seeing as the pistons and rods, and clutch aren't intended for turbo abuse. You will blow up the NA motor with boost.

I don't want to sound like im criticizing, but you could easily just use find the junkyard parts to install a turbo in the normal location.

If you just want to have a good time and blow up your motor, just spray about 150 HP worth of N20 at it. It'll be a lot of fun, I'm sure. Was my plan for getting rid of my TBI car until I decided to donate it to charity instead.

Sell the turbo to buy the nitrous kit!

the wiring headache would be worth the toruble if you want the car to be reliable and last a while...like was already stated....the n/a motor just isnt going to hold up long....

What year is the shadow? Changing the wiring should be plug&play for most years.
