It's a one off kit... not going to be produced

10psi, and i'm not sure how much power she's making yet.. no dyno numbers until i can get a new clutch.

Stock engine, stock injectors, stock tune.

looks sick. how much $$$ was it in parts to put this together? did you notice any difference in the handling/feel after modifying the suspension cradle? anything you wish you would have done differently?

keep us posted man.

Offhand i'm not exactly sure what all the parts cost.

The notch in the K-Member actually made no difference at all once we went back and boxed it in and everything. If there is a difference, it's very very negligable.

If i could have done something differently, i would have bought a different wastegate. That's a Mini-gate from Innovative, and they don't even advertize those, so it's difficult to get parts for it.

Re: My Turbo 3.8 Camaro!!! **PICS**

is there no room for an intercooler or just wasn't part of the project? also, what diameter rubber tubbing did you use and what type/where could i get it?

The intercooler is a front mount, inside the bumper. it's 24x12x3 w/ 2.5" inlets. I'm not sure where you could get the tubing... i got it from a good friend of mine.

Re: My Turbo 3.8 Camaro!!! **PICS**

That is a very nice setup. But, here's the kicker: are you willing to share in how it is setup, and the design, so that I may be able to fabricate one without having to learn what you have already mastered?

Re: My Turbo 3.8 Camaro!!! **PICS**

had you gone to 3" oval piping, could you have avoided notching your K-member?

Re: My Turbo 3.8 Camaro!!! **PICS**

That might have worked out, but even the oval piping would have cost me some ground clearance. The best way was to just notch the K-Member and call it good. The notch doesn't cost me any stability, and the car still handles excellently for the suspension mods i have.

Also, do you have even a rough estimate on price for all parts and/or labor? Looking for a project for my little brother's '99. Thanks, and great work, looks awesome. Track numbers coming?
