Turbo Parts - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #7214 21 posts Started by StockST
Ok guys. 7A-FE. What exactly does a turbo system contain. I know u need the turbine, blow off valve, piping, and IC. Am I missing anything else? Just want to know what makes up the turbo system cause i might make a custom for my ST
try doing a search. this same question has been asked countless times.
It's true, many people have (try to) answered to this question, but many response contain only part of the answer. People answers half the question with some " I think so..." "try this... "Not sure".... "maybee"

I have many post on this forum about really important question who need good response. It's easy to said "Try the search button", but if the information is not completly there on one,easy understandable treads of the forum....

A good answer is like the top topic of the forum, with an all you need in one subject.

So, be carefull with your answer; a good forum is make with good question AND good answer. And people are not stupid; in 2003, a "Search button" is in a common use of internet, not a goodies...

my 2 cents
Well the reason i asked this question, is no one actually gave a detailed list of parts. Unless there are other parts that i didn't list that you guys know about, please tell me. But i am doing my own research. Also I probably won't start until middle of next year.
Eh one guy has a compleat list of parts for the ST turbo process VERY Comprehensive its somewhere in the threads it took me a while to find it last time I dont remember his name... but look around hes a very nice his names Anthony I remember that, very forthcomming with advice, no doubt he will respond to this post soon but look around he has a FULL list of parts and final price.
here ya go

that should help, but the best thing you can do is read. go to howstuffworks.com and read their article on turbo chargers. buy the book Maximum Boost and read the whole thing.

after all the research, you will be able to answer almost all turbo related questions except for the ones that require first hand experience.

I was looking at the link posted earlier with the parts list and its kinda funny looking at how Ebay is listed as a place to buy for almost everything. Its kinda hard to remember what shoping for random stuff was like before that.
also see my profile, it will help you see what parts ive used also.

Thx for the insult, but at least I got the parts list. Thx again guys
"try doing a search. this same question has been asked countless times. "
you never said "Resolve". Only ask. So, you think about a good answer, but your not sure, at this point is equal to asked: "Where the bathroom?", and reply with "My girlfriend have asked for it. Search in the house!". This a futile and useless information.

But ,the link you put in your answer THIS a good answer! You know why? Because you done the search in first to be sure. You RESOLVE it. This is the line between putting a comment just for posting VS a good informational and usefull answer.

I close the subject, because this thread is about boosting a ST celica with a turbo. If others comments is about everithing else or are useless and without link with the principal subject, then go in the general discussion. That's it.

And thanx to others guy who help. The link and price are interesting!

i am awesome
7afte is a broad topic and theres a 1000 different ways to go about makeing your kit. useing the search isnt the same as getting a personal answers from experienced members. old topics in the search are not always going to up to date either. >rolleyes.gif>
