I havent seen one yet.Does anybody make one and how bads that damage to the checkbook?? TIA
Nope, not that I've seen yet. Of course, for the price of the LT1 or LS1 Kits ($4500-$6000!!) you could fabricate your own for your car.

I know a guy here in So Cal that can build you the headers with turbo flanges on them and get you all the components you would need. He does mostly Syclone/Typhoon stuff, but he has done other special projects as well . . .
not really....when you start getting fast with those v-6s you need all forged parts too. ask GMI FAST he went through it. turbo v-6s are fun but have big money and big limitations when you want to go fast
Yeah, what he said!

Hey maybe we could get a company to make some Headers for us? If they can build headers to fit in the tight confines of a 3rd Gen , then maybe the same headers could be use for other cars and trucks.Mostly older stuff with alot of room under the hood.
Here is what TURBO TECHNOLOGY said on the projects cars:
(The internet is a powerful tool and seems to be the best way for a large number of people to get things done. We have lists of people to contact with the various clubs and mediums out there that have shown interest in getting systems done for the masses. The last project ( LS1 Camaro & T/A) has about exhausted us in terms of electronics. We can build the systems no problem, but getting them to work with today's high compression motors and computers is the real battle!
The best way to get a project in the works, is to get 7 million of your friends and have them e-mail us with the same request! This webmaster has no inside source anymore, but has a hint that the next few systems to be developed ( in no particular order / price / time/ if ) is the LT1 twin turbo system for the Camaro & T/A'S......the ever popular requested 4.6 Mustang system....and you guys looking for the "less" expensive C-4 and C-5 systems. You folks know who you are and will be contacted when/if these are started. So stay tuned and we hope to make some of your days)
Maybe if we send in alot of mail for them to build the (HARDER PARTS of a turbo kit) Headers. We could build the rest ourselves.
Our cars(3rd Gen) are getting pretty cheap to buy. So That leaves alot of cash for HOP UPS. I am seeing more and more 3rd Gens at the track. WE SHOULD NOT BE LEFT OUT OF THE TURBOCHARGING MOVE.

Hmm request in the masses seems reasonable. maby the v6 guys should gather together and try and get some proformance parts built spacificly for them .. headers ect.. :/ in the mean time im having a hell of a time finding a manifold for a turbo setup on my 3.1
Go to your local Pontiac dealer. Parts department may have part numbers for the FACTORY equipped 1988-1990 Turbo 3.1L Grand Prix GTP...
