Twin Turbo Questions
I was originally thinking of doin a supercharger, but I think it would be more interesting if i was to do a twin turbo set up on my 87 T/A. Main questions for those who've done it or are in the process. How hard is it to get a kit, do you simply just buy seperate turbo's? How hard is it to modify headers or whatever it be to work with turbos, i understand it would consist of custom bending but how difficult? Overall cost as well, figure an ATI supercharger kit is like $3000 would i be in this range for twin turbos or more, i dont mind going over up to about $1000 more. Also any info or sites is greatly appreciated. Thank You

once you find out info on twin turbos, you can head out to www.turbobuick.com to find out info on turbos in general. also, can pick up some nice turbos from the forsale board for pretty cheap. it'll be pretty intense to make it. most expensive thing will be to build the engine to take the power. also gonna need a good tranny/rear/tires/suspension.

Sorry to continue to beat a dead horse for those who dont like to help people with general questions. Rather than hitting searches i think its easier to have considerate people give you a straight up answer. But to camaro freak thank you for responding, the motor is exactly 3 years old, a rebuilt 350 now 360 with dish pistons and 64cc stock heads so the compression is quite low. The car is already modded up and will be getting a TPIS cam in it within the next month. This is a project thats not gonna happen this summer, but i would like to start gettin info and do the build up over the winter. I do not want to get crazy and run ridiculous amounts of boost. I would like to start simple with getting the car into the low 12's if not breakin into 11's if possible? I will continue to do research but any further info would be great,
Thank You
Thank You

For reading up on turbochargers, check out the books by Corky Bell and Hugh McInnes.
