Newb to boost, found turbo REAL cheap, need advice.
So my friend has a T3 AirResearch off a Saab, it's oil cooled, not the water cooled one. He also has the Stock Saab mini intercooler with it, oil feed and return lines (probably need replaced anyway) He says it's in good shape, no shaftplay blah, blah, blah...
My question is, would this make a good first boost project? Second, I am in Germany, and finding custom piping maybe a problem as well as a manifold/downpipe (anyone know if the flanges are the same as say, a Garret?), anyone have a line on somewhere that can make them? I don't want to try my hand just yet at fabbing my own.
Fuel management (deer in headlights), I have a VAFC, would this be sufficient for this small turbo running low boost (not trying to blow up my motor yet), Injectors/fuel pumps that I can find out on my own, but this are what come to mind when thinking about installing it.
Any advice would be helpful, thanks
Oh, the car was crushed with the manifold in it, so no I can't just cut that flange off and weld it to a another mani. And no, I am not building up my motor for this, as is yO!!!
Yes, I sort of asked about this before, but now I have some more details I was lacking then
