I am going to try and be nice, as I see this is your first post. This entire section is comprised of people running turbo and superchargers on LS platforms. It's probably at least a 3:1 ratio of turbo to supercharger in here since the supercharged guys are out driving, while the turbo guys are here looking for help.....

****It's a joke guys... relax, no need to yell at me, just trying to keep it light in here.****

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm looking for people running turbocharger setups on any LS platforms. I am wanting to do some feature articles on a new website that I currently own that is solely geared towards that. If you're interested I can send you a link via pm. I'm trying to be respectful of the boards that I belong to and not post any spam or post advertisements. Thanks again.

I appreciate your respect for the board. Scroll down the page, and look at the threads, and send some pm's to people who might be interested.

As long as you're not trying to make money off this site, I don't see an issue with chatting with members with regards to their builds.

Help yourself out and post some questions in their builds and develop a relationship and bring something to the site.

The number of guys in this section running turbo LS motors number in the hundreds, if not 1000+.

Wandering into the forced induction section and asking if anyone is running a turbo LS is like walking into the unemployment office and asking if anyone there has a job. Lots of confused stares headed your way.

Joe, Love the reply. But it seemed to be the most appropriate place to post my question.

Interesting. Why wouldn't you just state your intentions in your first post ?

Ron,
No deceptions intended. That's simply just how I worded it. I think I made it more clear in my second post so there was no misunderstanding.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I have made this same post in all of the boards that I belong to as I stated in my earlier post. If it makes you feel better i can post links to all of them so you don't feel like your being misled? Nothing to hide.

No one thinks they are being misled. No one is really going to be able to give you a definitive answer for what you are asking unless you state your goals/intentions with your car. IE.....HP/drag/drift/autocross/street/twins/single/stock or built motor.......

Before anyone can really help you they need to know what you are trying to do.
