which first build motor, or add turbo

[ktravelet]

So I'm in a pickle now the Jess having such good prices on building motors. Should I get my mote built first, then turbo it, or vice versa. If I turbo first I know I can only boost about 5 psi. Me being in college I dont have enough money to do both at once, but they will be done pretty close together. Thanks.

Motor! haha take it from me. The best thing is get the new motor in, and get some nice and easy break-in miles on it. Once its broken in, you can make sure the engine is 100% perfect and in well working order. In the meantime, you can collect parts, money........ Then when you are ready, you can bolt it all together and go! When you put the motor in, make sure you get the turbo oil return line installed, then you will be all set!

Ya that would be a good plan, get the motor running right and then focus on the turbo.

take the time and do the motor first and get it right the first time

it will save lots of time and money in the end
