Question about upgrading turbos

[Ogmari066]

Ok so recently I’ve been having a underboost situation and i took it to the shop apparently both turbos are done for so im going gearhead stage 3 and xdi 35 but i know that the hpfp is going to be the last thing i recieve in the mail thats what i know for a fact my question is it ok run the stage 3 turbos for a lil while with the factory pump until i receive the xdi pump


Current mods: mrt axleback, ppe high flow catted downpipes, 170 thermostat,noisemaker eliminator, j&L oil seperator,3 bar map sensor, currently tuned by gear head, afe power, also have mishimoto j line intercooler on the way

I would ask Matt from GH, but I am pretty sure you can.

Do you like your Mrt axel backs or do you wish you bought Corsa?

I would cancel the mishimoto and order GH intercooler

And get yourself some Amsoil 5w30 sig series

Gearhead has been out of stock for a while now

I thought the mishimoto j line give similar results

I would wait for one to come back in stock honestly.

I wanted to go with the GH intercooler but when I asked when they'd be in stock, they just shrugged their shoulders. I guess I wanted to buy one more than they wanted to sell one. I went with the Mishimoto and have done several 12.18's on 93. I just got my XDI and E30 tune so I expect to be in the 11's. Stock turbos, PPE catless.

I just saw an old bare GH for sale either on FB Marketplace, here, or performance forum. It was still almost full price. I would highly suggest waiting or searching for used.

 

[Ogmari066]

I still want to know is it safe to run the turbos without hpfp for atleast a month

You should only ask your tuner, not a forum IMHO.

If you want to risk melting a piston based upon forum knowledge (and not your tuner), good luck.
