IMHO its waaaay less time and energy spent to go the turbo route, especailly since I have limited tools/help. There is no real tuning available for the car, unless you build a stand alone. Im ganna use a cartech FMU and #24 injectors to get a rough tune. I might look more into megasquirt if I cant get it to run right.
NEVER, EVER, saw these ones yet!!!Im with the other guys on this one!!! For what you got into that turbo and the $160 battery, you could have bought a LS1 
****, I got a set of 02 Camaro manifolds I would have given you and still would if you change your mind ****!!!half the guys reading this would probably donate parts as well if you just wanted to stop this crazzzzy ness and just put a LS1 in THEN!!!!put that DAMN TURBO on and now well be talkin here my man!!!

the tb on a 3.4 is small,
i helpd a friend build a turbo system for a 95 m5 3.4, camaro
the trans is a t5 with a 1 1/8 26 spline input shaft, the trans was pretty strong, but the motor did not like psi,
he used a begi mrfpr, it replaced the stock fpr and also acted as the adj. fmu
the turbo was a t60, using 30 lb. inj., it ran pig rich, but i would have to say it spooled the turbo pretty good, and saw 10+psi, felt like a bolt on's ls1
but the engine went
on a hard run, it blew a gasket and locked the engine, but it run hard

And I have to give it up to TIAGO. He paved the way and was the first to prove all the 3.4 nay sayers wrong.
