Default turbo set up

hey guys i'm to new to the ls1 scene and i'm looking into getting an 02 trans am ws6. before i buy i'm trying to learn as much as i can and i'm debating whether i would go turbo or motor only. i found this setup and was wondering if anyone has had any expirience with it or if anyone has any opinions



i know there are a lot of other parts i would need such as wastegate, ic piping, intercooler, bov, oil lines etc. but i'm just wondering if this kit is a good starting point

i am also wondering what size turbo would be good for a single turbo set up. my power goal is 450-550. also this car would be my daily driver.
so what turbo would get me this power along with other bolt ons and tune.

thanks for any and all help.

Yaaa that kit is a good starting point if you're looking for one last reason to commit suicide. It fits like **** and takes extreme patience to make it work. A t70 or t76 will get you to your power goals easy...well depending on what else you got planned lol

This site really needs an "ban on the spot policy" for these constant ebay questions with no searching.

My bad. It just seems there are TONS of threads on chinese ebay turbo kits. It seems your questions could have easily been answered by reading other members threads that have already bought the ebay kits. I would suggest having a kit made by one of our sponsors (like Kentucky Turbo, or VA Speed). Anyhow, good luck with your build.

People here need to drop the tude. Enough with the "how dare you ask that question" attitude". I'm really growing tired of it. I really doubt you would act that way in person. We are all car guys, lets act like it.

This same kit is brought up daily. On the front page of the FI section my thread, that says ebay kit on it, is right there. Im growing tired of the same thing coming up over and over, im sure MSTNGBRKR and all the others that have the same kit are tired as well.
