Good god I didn't ask for you guys to give me crap about how i'm getting the money for this stuff. I have to pay it back so get over it. And i don't know anything about anything thats why i'm asking. If you are gonna flame or post stuff that doesn't help me then grow up. To those of you that are helping. Thanks. I just wanna know what all i need to do to put the TT setup on there.

just be glad you asked over here. and not clubxx.

we arent trying to be mean about it, but do some research before you ask about it.

I hope you go TT, but its just not realistic

Fair enough...

As you've probably already guessed, a TT setup would be rather difficult for someone who lacks the knowledge of even a single turbo set up. Not trying to flame, I'm just being honest.

A twin turbo set up would involve a smaller turbo to get you off the line, without the turbo lag, while the second bigger turbo kicks in right about the point that the smaller turbo starts to fall off. The smaller turbo's job is to get you to the power range of the second turbo without getting the turbo lag from the bigger second turbo. The first turbo will have minimal lag due to it's smaller size.

I must apologize for some of our comments (including mine), we really are a good group here and generally don't flame as other sites tend to.

Welcome to GPN and enjoy your stay.

Darn it Bobby, and I was about to put that kid on blast.

Kid, think hard and long, then make a wise decision.

Good luck and welcome aboard.

Main problem with a TT setup is where to stick the second turbo. The first can run near the TB right after the exhaust manifold. There isn't much room to put a second one beside it and run a Y exhaust dump either.

If you looking at taking a GP to get into the 10's its going to cost at least 18k. If I were you I would lay low a little bit and learn some informantion about your car and your engine, not just stepping in with your 10 HP gaining CAI and then saying you want a 900+ CHP 10 second GP. Some good websites are ClubGP.com to learn some stuff (don't post there unless you learn some stuff because you will get made fun of pretty bad).

ZZperformance.com can help you out with most of your turbo needs, but they will not have anything to do with TT's because no one gets them, they just do a decent single turbo setup.

List of stuff you are going to need to take a GP to the 10's (lol) :

L36 shortblock
diamond pistons
stage 4 heads
huge cam
BIG turbo
headers to an open exhaust
maybe a 200 shot of spray
also about a 5k tranny, if not more expensive.
and TONS of little stuff to get it to run right.

And there is no way this will be a daily driver.

Good luck man, welcome.

ya dont worry about this site flaming on anybody, i was surprised they ripped you that hard, this site aint like that at all, GOD i remember my first post, about all the ricey stuff i was gonna do to my car, OMG i cant believe i said any of those things they ripped me good but not too bad, i was surprised, def. go with a single turbo, and it's good that you gave yourself a high goal, now you'll be trying everything left and right to try and reach that instead of a 12 sec pass you'd get there with just a turbo and you'd be stuck running not really sure what you wanted to do,
go turbo, cam, headers, 3" exhaust, a BEEFED up tranny and expect lots of little things to break, i'd say give urself 5K to spend on fixing things that break with a turbo
just my .02

Alright guys thanks. I didn't realize it was so hard to TT these cars. Would it be wiser to get a turbo instead of a supercharger?

i think it would be better to turbo, way more potential, but an M90 is a hell of a good thing too

Bang for the buck, turbo all the way. I have spent about $1600 on my whole setup now and am hoping to run a decent 13 second pass.

For about twice that much (turbo kit costs $3K), you should be able to make 12's

If you are looking to get into the 11's and lower, you won't really be able to do it with a supercharger. Unless you go with a Centrifugal supercharger. TT-ing these cars is very hard. A single turbo setup will get you where you want to be. With the supporting mods obviously.
