Turbo

[sonic05]

anyone done a turbo kit on their car? im looking at doing one this summer but i dont know what to go with. im looking to so just a street setup that will put me at about 500whp. (i know there are lots of kits out there im just wondering what is best or if its all about personal preferance)
thanks

Search button is gonna be your friend...

A lot of the guys on here are running Powerhouse kits, and Turbonetics kits. Some are having some real good luck with the ON3Performance kits as well....

500whp will kill your transmission and engine over time
the order of which depends on how you drive it
Sounds like you won't last as long as the ~500 whipple or KB guys

Do some searching

the car will not be drivin hard, and it is hardly driven already i mean its an 05 and i just passed 15k at the end of the summer. eventually everything will be replaced and built. i just have turbo fever now (winter car is turboed)

and i have searched and alot of the kits i have found are the turbonetics, scs (dont like rear mount turbos), blowbyracings kit, and Hps kit but most of what i have found all run the basic turbonetics kit. for a street setup should i run twin or single or is that all preferance? and who else out there makes kits

and your running 10psi off of yours, how much power are you putting out? and have you built any of the internals or trans?

I have the PowerHouse kit and really like it. Another popular kit is the On3 Performance kit (with subtractions and additions like in the turbo, wastegate, bov). Hellion, HP performance, sts, and turbonetics are less popular. If you search for any of the above kits you will find a wealth of knowledge.

I did talk to Jim before I purchased my kit and he was very helpful. Mike at Powerhouse is the one I dealt with mostly on my purchase.

i dont think you can go wrong with either one. ive heard so many good things about both kits and their customer service.

remember kids, searching is both safe and fun!

wow, you guys were pretty nice to this guy for asking a noob question without searching much

OP, I will be going with an on3 piping kit, but using a precision turbo and more than likely tial WG and BOV

 

[sonic05]

i know it is/was a noob question. thank you to all those who gave me some great people/places to contact with questions. i did so some searching and i am glad i asked here, there is alot of info you get from asking questions that you cant quite get from the search buttom. thank you jodadejss i actually found in searches that the turbonetics kit was "most popular" so thank you for the info everyone!
