Default From nitrous to turbo-----------!!!!!!!!------

well guys i think im gonna drop the nitrous and get me some BOOOOOSTT. i plan on running an STS style turbo kit. only thing is mine is gonna be right after a 2.5" y-pipe and not all they back in bufu. i want to do everything before i put it on so i got something to ask. What would do over again if you where to buy the STS kit again? like what parts would you get to compliment it?

i just did this same swap a week ago. first thing the cam you are using now , is it a nitrous cam, with a low intake - huge exhaust ??? if so you are going to need a different cam to compliment the turbo. i have the thunder racing cheater cam and it sucks with the turbo. ive been told the stock cam is better than what i have now.

Hes probably running a wet shot (which is why he wouldnt have any fuel upgrades). I would get a tune even with 4-5psi.

How do you plan to tuck the turbo up high enough right after the Y-pipe? Theres only a pinch of space there.
