My budget went put the window the second I got my motor pulled and relized I was starting from scratch basically lol. The big **** is easy the small misc. Stuff adds up . Probably because you don't relize your spending alot on a million little, cheap things. Good luck though man.

Good luck with your build mate, i've just purchased a TC78 to throw on my 01 Calais (4 door luxury version of your GTO).
It'll be a very similar set up to yours only aiming for around 500hp on 8psi, im using the standard drivers side manifold with a 2" crossover with a custom steam pipe manifold on the passenger side. You'll need 60lb injectors (atleast), walbro 255 (one if not two just to be safe), fuel regulator and a 3ltr surge tank would be a good idea for the fuel system.

are you on LS1gto??
Most every turbo GTO has its build on that site, most of them dont post here.
And like cobrakiller said, WOW, thats alot of turbo for nothing really, a nice single will cost 30% less and be just as easy to fabricate.
Do some research over their for different turbo setups, their is NO kit for our cars anymore. Unless you order from Aussie land.
You can look up my username here or over their and see my single build with a tc78 it was more then enough turbo for 600whp
