Hey I just bought a 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby Turbo. it does'nt run like a top.... but i'm trying to get the turbo to work better then it's working now... right now at full exceleration it get's about 5 of boost. and a tottal iddle it'sabout halfway down on the vacum side. now im pretty sure that this car has'nt been taken care of amayzingly. so i would like to know how to get a turbo rebuild kit... if i need one. and how to check if i do need one. and the name of the turbo in question... cuzz i cant seem to find one online for sale... so yeah any help would be apreciated... with generall problems and stuff like that thanks.

^^What he said. They will get you fixed up!  You will be able to find all of the info you need as far as rebuilding and FWD performance (on of their vendors) can have the turbo redone for you. You will also have no problem finding a good used T2 turbo for sale on there.
Hope that helps.

Thanks! i did go to that site and their is alot of usfull stuff their... but i found my problem it was a vacum line that was put in the wrong spot. and so now i'm running about 12 pounds and the engine runs way quieter... and way f***ing faster... so i'm happy. Gotta love td's
BUT considering i did want a T2... or a T3... or such... how do i know it fit's on my ride... and do i have to mode the exhaust in any way... such as would i have to increase pipe size... cuzz i'm going to try to go to 2 1/2 inch pipe... (hopfully)... will that hinder my turbo... or make me have to change it?

NO 3" pipe will wake that car up! The turbo is all the backpressure you will ever need. If you can, ditch the cat. Its good for about 25whp. Upgrading the exhaust is about the best thing you can do to a turbo car.

Hey, no problem. Thats what we are here for is to learn. Cat is catalitic converter. Its a huge restriction on the exhaust. Even the "high flow" ones. And you were right on with the whp.

ok, sorry about keeping on replying to myself.... but i'm eager damnit! haha ok, so this is my plans for the car as it stands...(pending)
i'm wanting to get bigger injectors...(but need to know what size you guy's think would be best)
bigger exahust in debate between 2.5 and 3"...and also ... sugestions on brands on mufflers and cat converter...(i do need the cat)
possibly shaving the head ever so slightly...(more compression)
i've heard of people putting in st valve's?... not sure what that is... but i read a forum and they said it was great in the car...so ... i'm currious about that.
replacing the distributer and cap and wires... (sugestions...)
dinomating the interior...
replacing the front driver side fender
the driver door.
and the front window.
(if you're selling any of that i want it... i have the shelby edition so i'd like it to say "shelby and have the strip's on the door/fender...)
and get a louder blow off valve....
SOOOO many idea's in my head!!!!!

I like that idea, because thats my exact setup lol I have a 3"electric dump valve right at the bottom of the downpipe. With a flick of a switch it goes from quiet and assuming, to an extra 28whp and everyone KNOWS your there. lol

As far as the injectors go, the best way to do that will be with an upgraded computer calibration. I recomend FWD performance for one. (www.fwdperformance.com or Call Cindy at 281-288-4411 ) In order for your car to run it best with bigger injectors, you need the cal. You can put +20%'s on there, but it will run really rich unless you turn up the boost, which you can turn it up much past 13 with the stock cal or have an upgraded cal done. A cal, injectors, exhaust, and upping the boost a safe amount will have you more than happy with that car. You can also find tons of other, basic simple mods on the two websites I listed in an eariler post.
One suggegstion on the blow off valve, dont go for all out loud. I have the turboXS rfl and its rated at 110db at 10psi. Its one loud mofo, but I would take the much quieter sound of my buddys HKS super squential bov.
Dynamating the interior will make the car quieter inside, and if you have a stereo in it, it will make it sound better, but it will also add a good amount of weight. And for every 100lbs thats roughly .1 of a second in your 1/4 mile time. Just keep that in mind. If your going for the most you can get out of that car, you wont want the weight. But if your looking for a quiet inside fun as hell daily driver, it probably wont hurt a thing.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Magnaflow all the way on the muffler. You can also pick up a magnaflow or carsound catlitic converter for it. Magnaflows are strait through mufflers with little to no back pressure. Quiet and low rumble at idle and nice mean sound under boost. Magnaflow is the only thing I will run on my TDs.
