Preparation checklist for FM turbo install (supplied by Jim McBride):
1. Make sure ALL maintenance is current (hoses, belts, timing belt, water pump, brake pads, tires, etc.)
2. If not new or nearly new, then new fuel filter (regardless of #1),
3. synthetic oil change and new filter will happen with turbo install,
4. start using premium gas now
5. Install a stronger clutch if required
6. Compression and leak-down tests have already been done, right?
7. as "lean" a coolant mix as you can stand (flush coolant system, see #1)
8. Redline water wetter and a good water pump lube/anti-corrosive
9. new 180° thermostat
10. new 16 psi or greater radiator cap
11. wire your fans to operate in unison (1.6 only)
12. new plugs
13. good plug wires
14. synthetic oil in transmission and differential
15. spray penetrating oil on nuts and bolts that will need to be removed
