putting a turbo sytem together need help! im putting together a turbo system fo my 2000 trans am and i need some help finding the parts and how u guys have done it. im running a garret t4 turbo. i need an intercooler and i need one that actually fits and i dont have to cut huge holes in stuff and where to get it. i need to know where to get an oil pump cause it remote mount, a sandwich plate or something like it for the oil pan and what fuel pump and injectors i should get and oil lines. i also need to know where to get this stuff and if u guys have anything for sale. its a stock motor so i plan on using a dual stage controller and switching between 400 and 500 rwhp. all help would be great

-Get the mocal pump for the scavenge return oil system.
-intank walbro fuel pump
-42lb injectors
-obx fmic (you will either have to remove your bumper support or cut it for sure)
-fuel pressure gauge
-boost gauge
-many little things such as lines, hoses, fittings and such.
just take your time and do one thing at a time. any questions feel free to pm me and ask.

just my opinion, as is yours......it can make more power witha good motor and juice then your kit and will weight less. Plus my car would be easyer to work on!! just a thought

check into enginegear's pumps instead of mocal. After testing around, the tilton/mocals seem to have a diaphram problem. The enginegear models are stainless shafts, brass bodies, and bronze gear designs. Theyll last.

the guys at TRT really are a great resource. you can get everything you asked for from them at a very reasonable price. i woudl also suggest napa auto parts and summitracing.com for the odds and ends stuff (which you will need)

if you've got an ACE hardware nearby then use them for all your fittings. Dont bother with summit and forget homedepot/lowes (their selection sucks). Most of the pumps have 3/8" NPT male or female. Male on the enginegear/reverso pumps.
Ill see if I can find the silicone dealer that i usually use. They sell elbows (for connecting to TB) at great price and most couplers are less than $5 with clamps. Also consider building a homedepot catch can if your tryin to keep things budget. Search will do wonders
