Default Ls turbo help

I put an 05 gto motor in a 60 caddy looking to add a turbo. Has any one found a good kit. I've seen a few. eBay and performance shops. I know it's not going to fall right in place. First time putting a turbo on a car. And would I need to up grade fuel injectors? She's big fat heavy car not looking for a 7 second car but want her to shake that a$$

You are going to need a custom turbo set up. Check to see if any of the vendors will work with you.

How much you looking to spend on it?

There are a few build of guys using the "cheaper" header options out there so maybe something like that could be made to work. Then you'll need to make your own down pipes, oil feed/return, etc.

Injectors size depends on application. For that you need, at the least, a HP number to work with. "Shake that ***" being a relative term and all...
