hey guys, this is my first post. i have a 99 tl and i saw automatic turbo 99 tl yesterday and i was wondering how this was possible on stock internals. any ideas if it can be done on stock
thanks.

 

it can be done with low boost. less than 10 psi.

 

The crappy stock tranny will scream in pain !

 

The engine can handle it of course. It's your glass tranny I'd worry about...

 

Yeah, even though the '99 with the 4 speed AT is a bit tougher, ya gotta remember that the tranny is weakening as it grows older by the day.

If ya really wanna do the turbo or a supercharger, consider replacing the tranny with a 6 speed stick for better response and durability.

 

hmm...i'm interested if anyone has any turbo builds to share, i've NEVER seen anyone do it

 

check my build thread. I'm not turbo now though.

 

I am curious about this topic as well. There is a lot of Qs being asked about supercharger and turbo "possible builds", but I don't seem to find any functioning cars thave have FI.

I would like to know what kind of 1/4 mile numbers people with comptech s/c and custom turbo set-ups run. I found an old thread (fastest 2gs or something similar) that said that A/T TL-S with full bolt-ons and comptech s/c went 14.1...which is rather sad result for so much money spent.

 

Look on the CL side for more info about turbo/supercharger builds

 

With a standalone so you can tune it the stock internals will handle much more Largest problem is tuning this car. Without it it wont last with much boost.

 

I'm just saving up now so I can get that AEM standalone plus the trans parts etc. situations like this I sure wish I made more money lol.

 

 

I'm working for triple time tomorrow and 12 hours Saturday for time and 1/2 and that's all going in my jar =o)

 

Nice, you can raise all that money to buy my turbo kit.
