I think STS sells a single turbo kit for 5.7's and 6's. I don't know anything about it, but it was the only turbo kit under GTO at andysautosport.com.

Oh, and STS kits are terrible. Too many bends (long spool time) turbo and piping hang too low.

I'd be very careful dealing with APS, they have scammed many out of their hard earned cash, including myself. As beautiful as their kit was, the peripherals are pretty crappy and many have had turbo issues. The fuel kit they sell was another turd, many issues with fuel odor and leaks. In addition, their drop in twin pump system starves the pumps if running less than half a tank. I had to modify not only the turbo kit, but the entire fuel system to get it right.

IIrc, they pulled out of the US market when the guys and aps dealers on the vette forum had serious issues with their fuel set-up a few years ago. Dave Inall was the scam artist who called himself peter. Do a web search, his activity will tell the story.

Find a trustworthy fabrication shop and custom build a kit, you'll be happier in the short term and in the long run.

All of the rear mount kits are garbage. Either they don't fit right (bolt-on kits are supposed to fit pretty damn well with only very minimal modifying if any) or they make dick for power.
Have something fabbed up that you know will fit and work well. Just my $.02.

Contact Mike @ Proxses Tuning. He was working on fabbing up a front mount kit. The test car was never fully tuned, not sure how far he got with all the fixturing to be able to reproduce. He is located in OH and is a great guy. Or you might be able to talk him into selling you his 1000+ hp twin turbo GTO.

Out of curiosity, have you looked any supercharger setups? If you aren't finding much for out of the box kits for turbos, there are quite a few to be had with superchargers. And if you are paying someone to install it, roots has the lowest install costs. Unless you are shooting for the moon on power, there are plenty of options.

Or unless you are doing it for the sound. I do love the sound of turbo cars.



Quick Reply: Is there anyone who sells a gto turbo kit??
