Post Turbo Or Supercharger?

Hey guys i have had my 05 gto for almost a year now and am interested in installing some form of forced induction whether it be turbo or
supercharged.
Which do you guys prefer?
And if you could direct me to some websites it would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

your gonna need more too, if you wanna do it once and do it right it can get pretty costly. It will be worth it though

Check out Bob at Exotic Performance Plus (Sponsor). Sick prices on ATI stuff. Here is a write up on one 04' GTO they did. D1sc 8psi 450rwhp.

I would assume the kit could be modified slightly to fit an 05' if they do not make them yet. My best suggestion to you is to contact Bob at EPP like I said above. He is the go-to guy for ATI stuff.

Good luck

APS has a twin turbo system for you car I believe. Regardless of what route you go you will need fuel pump/injectors/clutch/tranny work/rear end/good tune for a safe 500-550rwhp And forged internals/additional fuel system/etc for anything much over those #s.

Both get the job done. I went with the Procharger because its a straight up bolt on, has warranty (3 yrs on P1), and the company has been around for a while.

ATI does indeed offer the ATI ProChargers for the '05 GTO's, I have been selling them for some time. The kit that ATI currently offers is the tuner version, which comes complete except for the following items: You will need 42lb fuel injectors, a 255 litre fuel pump, a Fluidampr harmonic balancer, and a computer tune. I can supply you with all the required items, and there is more than likely someone in your area that can tune your car for you. Bob

Don't forget headers and exhaust. That is a substantial add'l cost for our goats, and was a major factor in giving STS a call. ~$2000 for headers/high flow cats/duals...

A good rule of thumb to go by for forced induction is:

Take the total sum of your setup and double it, cause you're gonna either A: Want more or B:Run into problems...

For a good setup and it to be reliable and fast look at spending around 10k
