Is that ctsv a v6? (kidding) but seriously unless your talking twins I have done a ton of sizing research for my rearmount setup and id be affraid that a 58mm would choke that engine. I already had an uneasy feeling about the 67mm that was recommended for my setup. The only saving grace is its a bb and billet setup. But i am still consideering stepping up to the 76. Good luck i just hope you dont end up dissapointed like so many base sts kit buyers.

no its a twin setup. Should make 1krwhp pretty easy.
1 67mm better be a t4 with a 1.15 ex or your motor will hate u

Give Jim at CalSpeed and Performance (www.calspeedperformance.com ) a call. He can help you pick out what you need. He's putting in a single T76 BB turbo (rearmounted) into my 2002 Camaro (stock bottom).

Here's a video of one of his customer's C5 Vette. Twin T76 BB RearMounted. The vette and my camaro are using On3 turbos. He's got 2, I am getting one.

Video of his other customer's car:

Hope this helps.
