Go read up on the Miller Performance WAR chip: it is basically a programmable chip.

I am also looking to turbo an M20, but I want slow, low, lazy boost. That car is an automatic and will stay that way, so I only want 200 RWHP, maybe 220 at the most.

I am simply gonna add 19lb injectors and water injection that kicks in at 5lb boost or so.

A 60 trim T3 should do just what I want, and I am gonna suck through the AFM with no intercooler at all. Might add a "turbo chip", but all it can do is retard timing and fatten up the fuel, so why bother? Hell, if I was gonna do that, I would just do a 7th injector from an ETA motor with a pressure trigger and a pulse generator and squirt some extra fuel in!

Lots of guys do "Metric Blue" head bolts, they are a non-stretch design, like $40ish, but ARP makes a stud kit, too. You can get a MLS headgasket from Cometic, but I would o ring a block, personally...assuming I wanted some real power.

Another issue your motor has when running boost is the water passages cast into the head are pretty sloppy. The passage forms a channel, and the gasket slips in there basically from lack of support. Lots of guys weld those passages shut, then drill out a proper passage, as water is only gonna flow where the hole is in the headgasket anyway, right?

If you grab a head and a headgasket, you will see immediately what I am talking about.

Personally, I am gonna fill the passage with JB weld so I don't have to heat the head to 400 degrees to have it welded. Hell, it is only keeping the head gasket from deforming in a coolant passage, right? It doesn't have to be some kind of major deal, JB weld will work perfectly, as long as it is well done.

My goal is to turbo my "other" car for under $500, total. So far I have most of the parts for free, manifold included. Still looking for a T3 with a .63 hot side for about $50 that needs a rebuild...gotta be an real Garett, too. Oil lines? I can bend a damn brake line. I can drill and tap a filter housing too, thanks. the exhaust is gonna be built so simply that the downpipe will bolt onto the "stock" system, thinking that dual 2.25" will flow plenty to get what I want.

Oh, and CA smog?

hahaahaaahhahaaaaaa! Bribe a ref, man. Good luck!

Running boost on itb's would be a pita, just use a regular m10 and blow through a side draft 48 or better yet efi.
