New turbo

My new turbo should be on tomorrow, Iv gone from a 2871 to a 3071, my question is will I be all right to start it up to check for leaks etc, and what about driving it to be mapped? Can I do this as long as I stay off boost? It's about 15 miles away! Thanks

Am sure some one will come down on me like a ton of bricks....


But it will be fine mate I've done it in the past an am sure I will do it again.. Small amount of boost will be fine but I would try stay off it mate.

Funnily enough I've just got a new turbo
Gone from a stage 1 turbo technics to a 2871r

Hahaha rob!!  yea I thought I might be but like you say stay off it and very steady!

Could always take Colin's advice... If in doubt flat out?

Off boost will be totally fine as not putting any strain threw the engine,

Will be fine pete

Ok we'll I will take your words for it! I'll warm it up then wanna do an oil and filter change before it goes any where! I'll put a post up and let people know how I go on.... Fingers crossed

We'll iv started it up and all
Seems tickety boo! Gotta book it for a map now and see what happens! Wasn't quite the straight forward swap I was expecting it to be as well?

Did you have to grind away abit of the block to make it fit ???

Not the block no, I had to grind part of a bracket down! Other wise the 't' on the garrett wording on the turbo hit and wouldn't allow the manifold to bolt up
