With what other engine mods? what supporting mods? Also, what size turbo are you running?

What do you mean with the stock throttle location? Where did you put yours?

My intake is turned around his was in the stock location and his mods are GT40y heads forged 306, 65mm throttle body and the things you need with these turbo kits which is a 255lph fuel pump, 42lb injectors/maf to match, wastegate with a 10lb spring, blow off valve and highly recommended gauges such as wideband, fuel pressure, boost and coolnt temp. Ill probably just make the headers and everyone else can customize there kits on there own. Oh and my turbo is a T66 and his is a 60-1 both turbonetics.

So basically just the basic supporting mods... those are some really impressive numbers. Also, what size turbo are you running with that setup?

How much do you think you could get rid of one of those kits for?

Im not going to lie turbo cars are a pain in the azz to tune i have a T66, his was a 60-1. Im going to go to the dyno soon so ill have numbers for everyone. Its not practicle to have too much power on the streets, i cant roll into the gas in second or third gear with spinning the tires. It gets scary when you go to switch lanes and you give it gas and the car just goes sidways.

That is awesome. If a member on here buys one and has good results with it I might be interested in buying one.
