Thinking turbo

Alright so I have a 1991 GTA 5spd 305tpi. I'd like her to have a bit more umph if ya know what I mean. It's only experimenting right now. I want to know what ebay turbo's will fit without mod's and intercooler. I am thinking 5-7 lbs of boost.

Would this kit work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T4-Turboc...1cd2ed&vxp=mtr

Yes I know you get what you pay for, but it's only for the sumemer.

Re: Thinking turbo

that turbo by itself is to small , 2 would work ok on a stock engine

turboing a v8 f-body is not cheap, expect to spend a total of around 2,500 bucks to have a running turbo system on an f-body, to have something that runs right and is tuned properly.

and that price is if u do all the fab and tuning urself

just the basics for my twin turbo iroc were around 2,500 bucks for the turbos/intercooler/materials to fab the headers,ecm and fuel system , + the extras like gauges and wideband o2

Re: Thinking turbo

So that wouldn't create any boost at all? Would that even fit?
