new turbo, now what? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just recieved the BB t28 that is to replace my t25 I overboosted. Is there anything I should do or know first? Also, where can I get a good price on the gaskets I need to do the turbo replacement? I don't want to dump 50 bucks at heavy-throttle for two gaskets!

go to u'r nissan dealership, or just autozone... nissan should def have them

I need the gasket from the manifold to the turbo and from the turbo to the dumpipe. I highly doubt Nissan of America has them. Autozone? No chance.

the one from the tubo to dumpipe you shouldnt need to replace, they usually don't go bad. They are made out of a really durable metal. The one from between the turbo and manifold is the same as a 300zx, and nissan will have them.

oh, thanks! Should I upgrade the oil lines when I change the turbo? Just in case I have a clogged orfice?

Okay, that last post sounded stupid. What I want to know is: Is their anything I should do to ensure I am not going to ruin my new turbo over something stuid? Also, is their any prep work I need to do to the turbo to prepare it for use? Thanks for the help guys!
