rear mount turbo??? im new to the turbo thing and was interested in the rearmount cause its more hidden and secretive.
what would it cost to do a rear mount with an air to air intercooler??
any have any ideas?? thinking around 7-8 lbs of boost?
and is there a kit for this or are u better off customizing it?

STS kit will work fine and the FMIC stuff isn't too expensive - but I think you will be into it at least $5500 assuming you do all the work, tuning and installation of fuel pump / injectors.
TRT could tell you better

Do it, I say, we did...Oh yeah, there is no cheap way to do FI, but if you like the STS kit, TRT has good prices and lots of experience.

damn to me a supercharger sounds easier and the power is always there...
and the procharger kit was only 4465.00 for my car.
and they guy i talked to said his went on his car with no extra parts needed.
is there a big advantage with turbos over superchargers?

always there.... put a turbo on and everytime you hammer it... the power will be there as well. I think if you dont have a camaro, you can tuck the rear mount up pretty well to be decently hidden, but someone can always just look under your rear bumper.... To get started... pick out a kit, swap a few parts around as to what billy says, run low boost for a while, save some more cash and then if you get an itch for more power, go talk to Billy again to what you should mod now... Also.. .that procharger price most likely doesnt include fuel upgrades, guages, tuning, install, etc. Add $600 for fuel and a few more hundred for guages and your right there or more than the STS package from TRT

I spent just under 4 grand on my turbo kit that I pieced together with a FMIC, including injectors, fuel pump, and everything that goes along with a rear mount. Tuning would probably be the best thing for the kit, or probably the most important I should say... I got a mail order tune on mine, and the motor came apart... Very expensive to fix/replace. I think the 4k I spent was worth every penny, considering what I got, and the performance gain that is always there...
THere are always numerous things you can add; bov, bigger turbo, more injector, stall or clutch, suspension, etc..
With a stock LS1 this pkg and a good tune will get you on the road. You have to know the limitations and not push your motor unless you are ready to spend alot more. With this pkg, there will nothing else you need and very little if any "running around" collecting more parts.
