    Question Just got a Lebaron Turbo

    Okay I just bought this Turbo Lebaron Convertable off one of my buddies and I was just wondring a few things because I dont know anything about like stock tubro cars, so here it is:

    Should I have an intercooler installed?

    Is it possible to get a blowoff valve on a stock turbo car?

    Are stock turbo cars the same as buying a turbocharger for a car?

    Should my gauges have a turbo gauge or is that just aftermarket stuff?

    Well hope someone can help, thanks.

    He made another thread asking the same questions and I answered there.

    If the car comes stock with turbo and no intercooler then there's no need for one, your car is going to be fine. Although putting one would look nice and give some hp.

    Some stock turbo cars come with the turbo gauges already.

    i would install a intercooler, u can get a supra sidemont or a DSM side mount pretty cheap. youll have to make your own piping( not that hard. as for a BOV(blow off valve) u can put one on easily too. it probley alreday has one
    . you really dont need a aftermarket boost gauge unless u are getting a boost controller. and by this "Are stock turbo cars the same as buying a turbocharger for a car?" i am not really sure what it is u are asking?

    If you are going to increase the boost yes. If not you dont need one other than to look really cooool.

    No. Stock turbo cars require no modifications if you dont adjust the boost. If you put a trubo on a non turbo car you may have to reduce the compression depending on the amount of boost you run.

    If you mean a boost gauge, no. They are only required if you set up to have adjustable boost.
