Thinking of turbocharging your P5? Here's a guide for getting started...
- Thread starter neox.286
- Start date
I would piece together an MSP kit, both are using the T25's so its just easier to go with as MSP kit from off the forums here. or, if you are into an upgrade, You could even go with a T28. And neither of the kits seems to have any form of ignition control, so upping the boost later will be a problem...
im looking at two different kits. please give me opinions and suggestions.
thanks

too late???
Hey guys. I've got a 2002 P5 AT and I've been wanting to turbo for a real long time. I've got a list waiting and ready to start gettin parts, but I'm skeptical. Basically I'm worried because I've got just under 70k miles and half of it is NYC driving, which has beat it up pretty bad. I finally have the time and money to go for it, but I'm afraid it's too late.
Any of yous guys have this many miles when you went for it?
Any of you spend a lot of time in the city?
I'd appreciate your opinions.....

I had 98k. lol. I have always been up to date on maintaining my car, this was before a timing belt and water pump install, i also did a compression test before hand to see if my motor was ready for the extra power.
Cool. Thanks for the input. All signs are pointing to yes right now, so I guess I just have to pull the trigger. I want to go with the upgraded valve body and cooler too. 6psi is what I keep seeing, so I guess I'm goin for that. Now starts the scouring forum/learning/purchasing process....
Don't you guys get tired of hearing this?

Sometimes yes. lol. But we were all in the same position and you are right, u just got to pull the trigger and do it or else u never well! I went through the process 3 times and the only thing holding me back was that I was just scared of blowing my motor. My motor has been running great since the day I got it. As long as u have taken care of it! Plus 6 psi as some say is basically non-turbo power+the sound of a turbo and bov. haha. I do know some needed to replace their headgasket and then I needed to do timing belt and water pump shortly after. But with 98k miles I had expected it to go soon. So there u have it. lol..Good luck
