If the turbo is water-cooled, you will need those lines as well. You do not need a turbo timer. Other than that, make sure you get a good tune, that’s the most important part, but you should be fine from the parts listed. Possibly a clutch too, unless the one in there can hold the new torque fine.
not all turbos need water coolant pumped through it.
If this is a used turbo worth only a few hundred, I wouldn’t worry about it. If it’s a Garret GT-series turbo that you spend $1k+ on, get the coolant hooked up.
i already have a stage 2 greddy clutch in right now. and its a greddy tdo4 thats going in, but i just found out i need to get a new ecu so anyone know where i can get one
laugh at me all you want, but the majority of home-brew D-series turbo builds I’ve seen, didn’t use the coolant. My car ran just fine without it. To each his own though.
