  • Do you guys want a cheap turbo kit?

    I just want to gauge the intrest to se if there
    will be a kit that would turn a profit.The kit
    will be complete,header,turbo,wastegate,intercooler,fuel
    system, and computer change.This kit will sell for
    about $3500.00.I think that 10 kits would be the
    smallest number of kits to see a profit and cover
    R&D and jiging cost.I need you guys to respond to
    see the need.I will let you guys know when and if the kit will be started and complete dyno numbers
    ect. When complete I will take orders and place an
    advertisment with the board.
    Thanks Keith

                My car is a 3.8 V6 like most of you guys here. My name is just formula cause I like it. I will post more in 1 1/2 weeks when I finish putting it on. I will post pics and give you more detail on what is involed in it. I used a GN turbo and header, and made a custom flange out of steel, then had the header welded to the flange with some modification of angle, and extension of the tubes. Let me know a good server so I can post some pics of the header as of right now. The turbo will be back next monday, so Ill post a pic of that too(I had it rebuilt)

                  is it for 3.4 or 3.8?

                  though it sounds like a good setup, i was waiting to see if tiago or v6maro or anyone else whoese done a turbo to make some schimatics or something.

                  whichever comes first i'll probably do:

                  1)turbo plans.
                  2)money for a LT1 swap.

                        hey formulao96
                        You live in Bristol TN? If so Could you see if your guy will do a kit for my 99 3.8 for maybe like 1200-1500, that is, if your kit turns out great and it pleases you?

                        I live in central GA

                        thanks
