Any Thoughts
Tuesday, August 09, 2011 11:37 AM
I have an 03 Cavy that I want to turbo and Ive got just about all my motor parts and things but I was wanting to know if this kit will fit (http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/product.phtml?p=747) The reson is its a lil lighter on tha wallet than the Hahn kit. If the mannifold would be the issue I have found this one that looks like it would work with the kit Im asking about.. Heres the mannifold (http://www.vulcanturbo.com/GMmanifolds.html).. So any thoughts and information on this would be a Great help..Thanks...

Goodluck with getting that Vulcan! look up the customer reviews! it will take you months to get your manifold, if you even do!

Yea I did man and good looking on that!! I can get an exhaust flange and get my mannifold custom made to look like that if I need to use it for that kit so will the turbo kit work or will I need to get the mannifold made like that for it to work with the turbo kit?? Thanks

you would need that manifold to work with the kit, and that is the saab manifold i beleive, someone correct me if im wrong. although, if you spent some time shopping around you would be able to piece together a nicer kit for much less. my setup runs mid 12s and i only have about 1800 into it

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure the reason that kit is so such a good price is because it does not come with a fuel solution. So you will be spending quite a bit more in parts to upgrade the fuel system and get a tune.

Yea I dont think it does but I alredy have an 255lph fuel pump,adjustable FPR,and some 60lb injectors..Im in the process of getting me HPT software so as long as I can get dat kit to work I will be strait..The way it looks is that if I get the mannifold the kit will work and thats what Im after..But I realy appreciate you letting me know about the fuel system and tune.1 more question am I going about it rite with getting the HPT software..Thats what I need to tune my car rite and a dyno?? Thanks

No you looked at the rite one. I was figuring scence it was for a 2.2l ecotec it would work..But Im going to go ahead and piece me a kit together because that kit isnt going to get me where I need to get to anyways..Ive did lots of research and reading on here and I know everything that I need get to build me a nice well put together turbo kit..I just got my manifold figured out and the only other question is the HPT software and fuel manegment..Thanks
