3.5 as a DD

Im going to do a 3.5 swap, and i was just wondering if anyone had turbo'd one and made it their DD, or would it be better to make it last longer by not turbo it.
-Thanks BryceJayhawk

If you are gonna turbo it do it right. Put in a bypass or blowoff valve. Without one you will have compressor surge. Youtube it. Its bad. Check to see if trans can handle a turbo engine might have to build it up. If its gonna be low pressure you should be good but if you're gonna go over 6psi look into it. I had a boost controller on my old turbo twist of the wrist 7 -16 psi

As long as trans can handle it and you do a bypass valve(better gas mileage) or a blow of valve(sounds cooler, more power) turboing it would be fine as a dd

Outta curiosity the 3.5 swap is from a newer max right? and you're gonna turbo that engine... why not a 350z 3.5 turbo'd engine? It would be built for turbo and tuned for it.

Oh yeah ill definitly do it right, im not just gonna throw a turbo on and run it. Im gonna do a BOV and intercooler and tune everything. Make sure it won't blow on me.
