Xud7 N/a To Turbo - A Few Questions...

[shorty_15-92 1]

Am I right in thinking someone has done this before and made a thread about it? (Did have a look but couldn't find it).

 

I know I will have to swap (or modify) the manifolds.

 

Does the compression ratio need to be lowered - the XUD7 has a compression ratio of 23:1. According to Autodata the XUD7Turbo has a compression ratio of 22:1 (is this before or after boost?).

 

I'm presuming I can take the oil feed from the pressure sensor (with a T to add the sensor)?

 

With the water feed, where do I take it from? I know it's after the pump, but where is the best place to take it?

 

What is the highest psi of boost I could safely run?

there's no water feed to the turbo's on o.e pug turbos.

 

are you going to fit an intercooler?

[shorty_15-92 1]

It is not an o.e turbo - this one is water cooled.

 

Yes, I am planning on fitting an intercooler, I just haven't found one yet.
