Pre or Post

This is being discussed right now in another thread as we speak.



Here it is:



the 50/50 question



The above post is about installing it pre or post.



I think the quick response of the pre turbo installtion is best for pulling a heavy load. The Post is IMO for checking the turbo cool down temp.



Hope this helps!

Cooldown - schmooldown.

Heck, if your stock turbo eats itself..... just upgrade to a super-duper Piers model.



I vote for pre-turbo... . I'm more interested in my engine than I am in how hot my turbo is... . turbo is less $$ to rebuild than the engine, that's for sure.

Hi Mike



Did you get my PM?



We need to get together and talk about things.



Let me know

I agree with probably 95% of the members. Pre-turbo tells you more precisely what is going on with your engine, especially if you are going to BOMB.



As for turbo cool down, I wait to see less than 300* and give it a minimum of at least a minute at idle to allow the turbo time to spool down before shutting down it's oil supply. Just my $. 02.

Well I guess it is pre turbo for me. I guess I could use a B1 turbo soon!

Got it and need to go through the valves this coming weekend.

Just give me a call.
