Re: Turbo Ideas??????? (aberkrombie)
what are you goals with the car? How much do you want to spend? Do you know much about boosted cars (like could you diagnose a problem if one arises)? All thoes questions will help answer your question. To do a kit right it takes lots of planning

i had a turbo LS but it was nothin fancy just a t3/t04b 10 lbs of boost..but im takin my time with this new build so money isnt too big of a deal right now..but like i said..its a street daily driven car..not a drag car..but here in Nebraska there are some quick supra runnin around and a 10 sec silverado that was featured in hot rod magazine...i more or less just wanna be able to compete but without losing all the driveability

Re: Turbo Ideas??????? (aberkrombie)
The tuning will keep it drivable or not. I have seen alot of very high horsepower cars on here that run daily.
Do a search on here and find out what the other teg guys are running. you could get a gt28rs which tops out around 350, which is plenty for a street car IMO. The turbo spools quick and has a nice are under the curve on a good tune. (I think for a true street car, not drag like you said, i would go with the gt28rs. Check out tonythetiger on here. He has a teg with the rs.)
Good luck
