  • Thinking of turbocharging...

    I'm thinking of putting a turbocharger on my car. I've been searching and reading this forum a lot lately on turbochargers.

    Can you guys list exactly what I'll need?

    I'm thinking of going with a T70.

    What else do I need as far as the turbo goes and do I need any supporting mods? My camaro is totally stock right now. Also, I'd like to stay at 7PSI so nothing to drastic as far as boost is concerned.

                        Why do you want to use a T70 to run 7psi?

                          Dont forget about a good ignition system. A nice set of plugs wires and coils is a first.

                            only plugs you need are TR6, stock wires and coils work just fine
