Twin Turbo 88 Camaro
I have a 1988 Camaro that I want to do a twin turbo setup on. I have a 4 bolt main 350 block that I could have built for the setup. I live in CT and want to get an engine built for the turbo setup. I found a kit on eBay that seems like it is made for this year car. Here is the link.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270997871535?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
So what I am asking is has anyone had any experience with this setup?
I have heard things like throwing out the turbos from the kit and use gt35 or gt45. and that the manifold crack.
Also does anyone recommend anyone that has experience building a 350 for this application.
How does this kit fit? and what else do I need to get that isn't in the kit?
This isn't going to be some drag car either, Its going to be driven at least a few times a week so I'm not looking for it to be nuts but I want it to be fast if that makes sense
Any help would be very appreciated
Thank You

Re: Twin Turbo 88 Camaro
I had this kit on my car back in 08 and it was a lot of work to make it fit. Turbos are to close to the radiator and the downpipes had to be ran down the top of the framrail which made changing plugs a pain. It can be made to work but I would spend my money somewhere else. If you can fabricate I would build your own kit or buy a set of headers and start from there. I built my own kit and have less that $600 in materials to fab the hotside.

Seems pricy, but a complete kit that was on a running driving car, plus your getting 30 cents on your dollar converted to Canadian.
Good Luck.
