John, you didn't cancel the turbo for family troubles you got a speeding ticket and u got upset and you decided you didn't want to spend the money. i got a quick question too. Can u take a turbo off any car and use it, or does it have to be a very specific one?

OK! First of all...

-ShadeSlaya is my 14 year old brother.
-He's wrong, I got the ticket WAY before my fiance` left me. I used the "too much power" and "too expensive" as excuses because I didn't want anybody but people I trusted to know what happened with her leaving.

And to answer your question, physically, I'm pretty sure turbo's fall into standard inlet/outlet sizes so they can bolt up in a generic fashion.

I'll bet you can use a TURBO off certian vehicles that share a similar turbo, however, you can't re-use the exhaust piping/charge tubing/oil lines.

That's why ZZP has different options as far as turbo's for their kits.

The piping is all standard and you can select different sized turbo's that fit with those pipes.

Fast as possible, or fast for a reasonable price?

Reasonable: Top swap, Gen V, Stage 3 IC, Cam, Headers, N* TB, Race Tranny. There ya go. Sub-12s and you have decent reliability.

I doubt you'd have much in the way of reliability with that setup either...

Fact of the matter is, you mod and you lose that factory driveability.

If you want fast as possible, you're gonna need a turbo cam, big turbo, heads, headers and all the little things like intake, 180* thermo, etc

I don't care. Price doesn't matter too much. I'm turboing it for sure though.

That's a pretty good price for what you get.

He's right though, that's a power build and will tear your tranny to PIECES!

But figure $3100 for a high-end turbo build along with a custom IC and some supporting mods like 65# injectors, that's a good buy.

If you can afford to drop a little over $8000, I'd say buy his set-up and get yourself a race tranny from ZZP.

But if you are looking to keep your tranny for a while, you could easily just drop $3000 on ZZPs base turbo kit. That will bring you into the 13's easily and it's very streetable as well as far easier on the tranny.

That is a pretty good buy. But i'm just gonna get a new one and have zzp install it. The new tranny is going to cost too much but it will be worth it.

Ok I have a problem. I didn't know they made Centrifugal Superchargers for grand prix's. https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=244&catid=109 I know those are ridiculous. With the supporting mods they can add about 100 horses. I dunno what a turbocharger can possibly have over that.
