2860 install

If you are preparing to prime the turbo...
I held the accelerator pedal to the floor and pressed the start button. Press it again to stop cranking. It will not start. Keep the pedal mashed the whole time. Repeat as desired.

I am preparing to prime the turbo, but then I will be installing the Bosch injectors and xdi hpfp so I need to run the fuel system out of gas.

Keep us updated on the power numbers when all done!

Can't wait to see how they look. I'm running same kit on stock fuel but really interested in injectors/hpfp upgrade too

Anyone ever take out the injectors? Mine are VERY snug

I’ve looked at all the pages on this thread, what are you guys talking about when you said to get a bigger belt? The turbo contacts the belts on some way? I’m confused 🤷🏻‍♂️

Getting a bigger serpentine belt applies when you're installing a 4 port aux system, which I sold in favor of the bigger injectors and hpfp

That makes sense, thanks!

Took the first injector out, I am the first owner of my car, bought it brand new, I use it as a fun, race around car, don't drive it in the winter. It has 21,xxx miles on it. Look at this injector....

I've been telling people...Use a DI injector specific cleaner and a good oil. These injectors take a beating BIG TIME* I'm really wanting to peak at mine also next time I do the plugs to see how well the cleaner I have have been using is doing along with the 4 port injection Aux fuel system with keeping the valves clean.

I've never used any injector cleaner, and the car has never idled rough or stumbled ever and I've only run amsoil

Not sure if anyone is aware of this but a company in the UK makes a turbo blanket for the 2860!

That looks awesome. I have a generic DEI blanket for IWG turbos. Fits, but far from perfect.

It looks like about 195 bucks US shipped

Bought mine from Amazon for like $55 fit just fine.

But is it universal?

It was for a 25 series Garrett turbo and fit just fine* I just looked at it again. It was for 25 and 28 series / universal also* Again it still fit perfect

Oh cool. I'll have to search for that. Can one install one of these blankets when everything is already bolted up?

I took it off chasing a Tuners BULLSHIT idea and it pretty much destroyed it. It can be done but the v-band would have to be loosened up alittle to give you more space.

I see

So I drove the car last night on dizzys base tune and hit 30 psi. He wants me to check the boost solenoid plumbing. I was pretty sure I got that right but we'll see
