Geeze ,,,Where to start lol Engne,Tranny ,Susp, Rear end ,Fuel system ,Cooling,Brakes and it goes on and on once you start thinking of FI. Trust me! Alot guys think its just bolting on a turbo and your done and it just doesnt work like that because of the added hp that your adding to the stock GM parts that just wernt made to handle the extra (boost and power) that goes along with throwing on a turbo kit! Been there and tryed it years ago. Ive got over $40k just into bolt on's with my twin turbo setup and took me 4 years to do it right .
