Andris Skulte built a twin turbo setup on an IROC

They dont sell a turbo "kit" per-say, but they do sell a Vortec pro charger centrifugal supercharger system that is supposed to bolt right up to the TPI. Search Summitracing.com for it.

He said CARB 350 man,lol.

Why a turbo instead of something cool like a ProCharger or Vortech blower?

A turbo is cool!

Vortech makes a carb'd blower setup as well

Turbo setups are cool,I like them a lot. But I just feel it would be cheaper Hp/$$ to do the ProCharger instead of buying pieces to a turbo kit and making it yourself rather than buy a ready to bolt on kit such as the ProCharger/Vortech.

How much power are you tryin to get man?

well i just though a custom turbo would be a lil cheaper! i would like a twin turbo but a single would be fine and intercooled!

Before you just jump into this, you have to also realize that if you are boosting your motor, you either need to keep the boost low because of the stock internals, or build up the rotating assembly with forged parts. That is of course unless you've done that already, then you are clear to go, I don't know much about your motor, I'm just assuming here. Also, you are looking at what, 9.X:1 Compression, which is not totally ideal for boost. You'd want to get down into the 8's.
