turbo tbi or tpi
Im thinking about turbocharging (maybe twin turbo) my L03 but I heard that its better/easier when its done on a tpi setup. Should i just buy the used tpi setup with a LT1 cam and tpi heads? If itll be the same on my tbi what mods should i do to get it to run to full potential and how much will they cost? thanks for the help

Welcome to the baords! You will find that turboing any TBI set-up is not worth it in the long run. There are tuning limitations with the stock ECM because of the inability to accuratly make corrections on boost. I would not even bother with TPI either. It sucks just as bad as TBI when it boils down to it. I would spend the money that you would use on your turbo set-up to get chip burning equiptment along with a nice heads and cam set-up. I think you will be much happier.
