    Default Possible 09 tC turbo!

    I'm looking at the Ptuning kit on turbokits.com for my 09 tC. I've done my research on many of the parts in the kit and it seems to be a great well put together kit.

    I'm looking to go right around 10psi looking to get around 300hp. That means I'm going to get a stage 2 clutch, and was going to upgrade my fuel system.

    What I'm asking is what type of clutch should I buy? I've seen a lot online and some of what the descriptions say don't make a lot of sense to me.

    The other question I had is what parts should I buy to upgrade my fuel systems to handle the amount of boost/power I want to output?

    And once it's all said and done, what is proper maintanence for a turbo vehicle?

    Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    Just as in turbo kits being in stages, so to are performance clutches ranked by stages. One thing to note is that there is no set standard to follow so one companies Stage 3 clutch maybe another's Stage 2. To confuse matters worse, some companies have in between stages, like Stage 2.5, to account for new friction materials. Stages can be an order of magnitude of the clamping force (torque) of the entire clutch, a measure of driveability.

    Your Fuel system will need to be upgraded. Either the Walbro 255LPH of the new Deatschwerks 300LPH in-tank fuel pump will be require to support the larger injectors (550cc+) that will be needed to support 300WHP+. To support the flow characteristics of that size injectors, you will want to invest in a new fuel rail (Descendant) and a quality fuel regulator plus the required fuel tank return plumbing. You should talk this over with the tuner at the shop you are going to be dealing with.

    Ok so I guess I'll try to give a few manufacturers a call and see if they can clarify their out of wak stage systems.
    I was planning on getting my install, and tune at Roberts imports in Louisville. And as far as the fuel system I need, a new fuel rail, pump, regulator and by plumbing is that kinda like porting except for my has tank?
