Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance turbo chargers and turbo

hey guys,
these areprobably the dumbest questions you've ever heard by me...haha dont be annoyed im still a beginner...whats the diff. between a turbocharger and turbo? and how do you install it? if i upgrade the ECU what else will have to be upgraded?

thanks!

all i know is that turbo and turbocharger are the same things... not sure about the other shit some1 else will fill ya in...i see only 3 posts welcome to everythingcelica.com

nothing. they are the same thing, just one is short for the other (try and guess which, i bet you'll be pleasantly surprised!). you install it by routing the exhaust manifold to it, then it to the exhaust, as well as running oil lines, and intake tubing to the compressor side. there's more to it, and it's far from easy. go to www.c2power.com [c2power.com] and d/l the install manual. depending on boost levels, a lot to nothing will have to be upgraded. in fact, the c2 kit comes with a piggy-back ecu which will negate the need for a standalone ECU.

there is a thread at the top of this forum that is all about turbo kits, its called parts for a custom turbo
