Going turbo?

I'm interested to see if anyone has tried making a turbo kit for you guys yet. I personally would love to try it, but I personally have never fabricated a turbo setup, much less for someone else's car.

You have fabricating skills? Its not too hard to make a turbo kit, very time consuming though.

i'm sure you could also get an ecotec turbo kit to work. you'd need an intake manifold though, unless you fab one up to go onto the stock one, keeping the intercooler. think about it, FMIC AND Air/Water...

well since we got the basic upgrade package done and its going on the other shop redline we are going to put the twincharger on our car. we already have the exhaust manifold and turbo and our custom downpipe flange prototype is getting done early next week. when you guys see what we got cooking you'll smile.

Yeah, a good amount. I am doing most of the fabrication on my own turbo kit, and I am fabricating my own FMIC.

The only hard part would be a manifold. But they make EcoTec manifolds, so just buy one and we could get started.

If anyone is interested, I would like to give it a shot.
