rearmount turbo kit for 96-04 gt
looks much easier than screwing around with all the pipeing in the front of the car. price looks kind of low, what do you all think? clicky here

RE: rearmount turbo kit for 96-04 gt
seems like an awesome deal for what it is. dunno how well the turbo would do under neath w/ rain or anything, maybe someone can chime in. also it takes a lot more flow for the exhaust to reach the turbo, so maybe longer spool times? it also has to travel a long way to go back to the intake.

i have seen a lot of sts turbo systems, for camaros. i dont really know how they resond under hard acceleration. might want to ask some camaro guys, they only other downside is u dont have true dual exhaust anymore and most system will just give u one tail pipe. but this one seams different.

this is not the turbo kit fetured in the installed pictures. this is a homemade turbo kit. look its an off road h pipe a y pipe and a turbo the tubing isnt even bent. if you knew how to weld you could build this in a day

RE: rearmount turbo kit for 96-04 gt
i have a friend with a rear mount sts turbo kit on a trans am its awesome sounds mean and makes serous power hes making 680rwhp but i didnt notice if it said what size turbo it is you need a big a$$ turbo to make any power with a rear mount sngle turbo. it says garret T3/T4 that is just the ehaust housing size its probably just a 50 trim from the minimal hp gain stated in the ad and also you should use atleast 3 inch piping thats using stock size piping but it will work but you wont recieve maximum power you can make some serious power by just changing to a bigger turbo like atleast a gt35 and bumping the boost to say 8-10 lbs
