Sorry for the noob question, but just wondering if it matters to open her up before she blows, or wait till it does (if it ever does) then upgrade the bottom end?

It depends if the engine was SWOLE. Aka, a rod came out the side of the block. If a rod breaks, then yes you will need a new block and whatever else got destroyed.

You say new block, is that referring to a whole new engine?

It terrifies me that you've already bought a turbo kit and you don't know these things. You seriously need to come up the learning curve before you murder your car. Start here: https://www.amazon.com/Maximum-Boost...=maximum+boost

That was published in 1997. Prefer something more updated

Einstein published the Theory of Relativity in 1915 - is that out of date? Maximum Boost is probably the most common book I've seen get recommended over the years for turbochargers. Do yourself a favor and research, research, research.

How about this one - I think it's called "Bumping old threads and asking questions you should have known the answer to before you pulled out your wallet and got in way, way over your head?" That current enough for you? There's a sequel too - it's called "I didn't know what I was doing, so I blew up my car and now I'm making payments on a paperweight"

Then you can finish the trilogy with the classic "Selling a broken car for pennies on the dollar."

I've seen a lot of people invest in that trilogy over the years.

Most of the books I have read on going faster on the track are "old", why, because the principles, which is what I was learning at the beginning are all the same. Those were early 90's books, but nothing has really changed in principal and terminology. The only change has been better data logging and video recording equipment allowing you to see and improve faster.

Savage!

Then there's a prologue to the trilogy. "Should've just researched and the next three books wouldn't have existed."

I'm no expert, but, I think it's the big "blocky" thing that holds things inside and has things bolted onto it.

No silly it's the metal behind the tires
