Is it dumb to think that I can get 200whp with a turbo on a LS (w/135000 miles) with out rebuilding the engine's internals?

 

is not a dream, check your compression, and you can boost depend on your turbo, but you will be over 200hp will good tune

 

thats in reach sir

yes...yes it is...you can get more

 

Do you guys have any suggestions as to if I should buy the turbo as a kit ,or piece by piece?

p.s. If piece by piece does anyone have a complete list concerning parts?

 

Im at more like 300 with 160k. Its not a dream its a joke.

 

it is not a dream, it can be a reality. easy bro. i'm about to sell my turbo kit if you're interested...i'm just up in seattle. you'll just have to get a tune. and there's a few good tuners down in portland area.

Once you do it, you'll want more than 200 whp. Boost is addictive.

I have 152k on my GSR boosted 10 psi daily driven. Only thing I did was rering it. Still pulls 250 psi compression across the board.

 

you should definitley be able to do that on stock internals ... anywhere from 7 to 10 psi should be safe without building the motor, and that should definitley get you to at least 200 whp ... check your compression ... remember, the lower your compression, the more boost you can safely run ... and most of all ... there are alot of very knowledgeable people on this site ... listen to what they have to say

Here we go with the magical psi number again. 7-10 psi on a T3 is a lot different than 7-10 psi on a GT40.

No it doesn't. It just allows a larger margin for error when tuning the car on pump gas. You can run 12:1 on a boosted setup provided you have proper tuning for the octane of fuel you plan on running...but don't expect to be running anything lower in octane than race fuel.

 

correct, proper tuning is the key. BUT, you do tune for the boost level. so it's kindof hand and hand. but some people even boost 13psi on stock internals, no problem

 

turbonetics kit with a few modifications

stock internals

13 psi and just over 300whp

25 000km of hard driving and still works great
