Re: Turbo owners please chime in... Since you car is an auto any of the kits you mention should easilly put it in the 10's with a good bottom end.If you haven't already built your bottom end, make sure you make the right choices on fuel, pistons and heads etc. with FI in mind from the start. Turbos tend to make a ton of torque so I would seriously consider beefing up your driveline as well. If your driveline is fairly stock, it won't last long especially if your planning on running on a good tire.
The most important part of building something like this will be your budget. There are a lots of hidden cost's in a turbo and tons of gotcha's along the way. None of these kits are bolt on power and modifications along the way are the norm, not the exception.
Before buying a kit I would do some research into what's available on the market. You might even want to give Garrett and PTE a call to get their opinions on what works and what doesn't. For me I called them after the fact
however I was able to pick up some quality information. Hopefully you have a quality tuner not to far away as a good dyno with wideband and a tuning program are critical.
If Mightymouse still has his kit it would probably be a good buy used.
Good

Re: Turbo owners please chime in... A ten isn't a problem on a stock bottom with the right tuning and a smallish single, like a T-63.
A nine is just a T-74 away from that.
NOOOOOOOoooooooo problem for a forged bottom!

Re: Turbo owners please chime in... Thanks guys... Tuning would come from one of the NJ shops. I;m gonna do a rear, but not till I waste this one...which wont be long so I'll have it ready.
I'm working w/ about 10k max for the turbo set up, installed and tuned. That may not make it from what Im seeing.
