Default o2gt mods

a few questions i have seen on ebay several o3 cobra superchargers for cheap i was curious if i would have top make a custom lower intake "spacer" for this swap i under stand all of the other electrical and fuel changes i would have to make. i only ask this because i heard the swap is possible. currently i have headers back exaust and plenium/throtle body cold air intake would it be benifical to step up to 23lb injectors so it wont be lean. keeping in mind redone heads are coming in future all this to be done on 02gt manual

I havent heard of anyone doing this, although I suppose anythings possible. Im sure their's more to it than just needing some type of intake spacer and fuel upgrades, because if that was the case alot more people would be doing it (including myself if it could be done on the cheap). Let me know what you find out I'm interested.

i haven't heard of anyone one doing it either... it sounds like it would cost you the about the same price to set up the eaton as it would just to get a kenne belle. like md said, keep us posted.

you can S/C a GT as long as it doesnt exceed 8 pounds of boost. some say nine will do good but thats taking a chance. Im going with an eight pounder in a week or so.

I was gonna go 10 lbs - the guys at T&J said they do it all the time just fine (as long as it has a good tune). Vortech advised me to not go with more than 8 unless I had an aftercooler or upgraded internals.

man... you're nuts if you go over eight unless you have the cash to replace a motor a rod was thrown through! I would go eight unless you have forged internals atleast.
