What all comes with the full bolt on kit. I saw some old pictures and there was no intercoolers. I was also wondering how much horsepower they added and if it was possible to run a twin turbo kit with a ram air induction?

kits come with
T04E stage 3 57 trim turbo
48mm wastegate with ur choice of spring 3.63-14psi springs)
all hot pipes
front mount intercooler(bar and plate)
all cold pipes
all needed couplers and clamps
oil feed lines and fittings
oil return lines and fittings
fuel injectors
all gaskets and nuts/bolts
and ur choice of blitz dd or greddy type rs style blow off valve

u can upgrade the turbocharger for extra money a t61 turbo adds 200$'s to the price.and price does not include shipping

on ur motor u could run twins but ur car has a mass airflow sensor so both turbo inlets would have to draw threw the maf.and as far as ramair it wouldnt do anything
i dont make a twin turbo kit yet for the v6 cars,but i may possibly offer one in the future.
on a bone stock 2.8@7 psi expect about 255+ rwhp ( on a good condition engine)

Thank you sir. I'm probably going to wait until around the end of February because I don't want to lose any part to it since I'm not going to install it until winter is over. So there will be some decent weather. Plus the added hp and snow don't mix well. I was wondering if you could give me your email so I could email you near the end of February. Thanks.

It's ok. So I can run up to 9psi of boost without damaging anything. But 7psi would be safer just incase of a compression leak. Correct? But if I switch the pistons and all that good stuff to a lower compression then how much could I crank out the turbo to?...well how much will the turbo be able to push. I'm confusing my self. I'm trying to say what is the max PSI of the turbo? That made it simple.

i went to get a shipping qoute but i have to measure the overall size of the hot pipes to get a more accurate qoute,which i can do when i get the car on the lift this week.but it looks like shipping will be around 125$'s

i cant tell u the safest maximum boost on a stock engine cause there are to many variables,right now i have 10-12 psi on a bone stock engine without problems.it all depends on detonation,every engine is different.so i say 7-9psi on a stock engine just to play it safe.there was one guy who ran 15 psi on a stock bottom end without any problems but im not brave enough to try that on my motor lol.
the turbo i include in the kit will max @ 22psi on a 2.8 and 19 psi on a 3.1

The turbo is going to have to wait. Some a**hole broke into my car last night and stole my cd player, cds, broke my left headlight assembly(the welded on part, and took some parts off the engine while I was at a party.
