I'm researching the process of swapping an MSP turbo kit on my 02 P5, and had a few questions about the differences between the NA and turbo cars. These are some of the things that I couldn't find by searching.
1. IS the entire fuel system the same on both cars? I know injectors are the same, how about the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator?
2. Does the MSP use a boost control solenoid like a lot of other factory turbo cars? Or is it just straight wastegate pressure?
3. If I use the MSP ECU, do I have to change out anything at all to avoid a check engine light - emissions, EGR, O2 sensors, etc?
Basically I'm trying to put together a kit for my P5 and I know all the mechanical bits (turbo, exhaust, IC, oil/coolant lines), and just need to figure out the tuning. I would prefer to use the MSP ECU, and nothing else aside from a boost and wideband O2 to monitor things. I want to avoid things like the 10:1 FMU, voltage clamp, split second AFC, etc.
And before anyone says anything, I'll be fine with the stock boost level (7-8psi) making about 160-170whp. This is just a daily driver, I'm not looking to be making crazy power with it. I've got experience with turbo cars (had a WRX, and have a 1G big turbo DSM), I'm just unfamiliar with how this particular kit works.
