Default C5 Turbo Kits

Are there any? Seems like there is only superchargers. If there are, where are they?

There are several. Halltech ($$$), Breathless, CAS, Turbo Tech, LPE obviously($$$), and I believe the QMP is still in the works. Check out the Turbo article in the new GMHTP packaged with Popular Hot Rodding.

Does anyone know where i can grab some prices on these kits none of the sites seems to have them. Also anyone know any good shops in the east i'm in New Jersey and i'm planning on selling my 01 Corvette Coupe and buying a 00 Hardtop Corvette and throwing in a TT kit but i don't know any good shops around here. Also considering selling my vette and going with a good TT set up in a 2002 camaro SS anyone know some good places in the east that could do some work on either of these cars.

LPE has the best turbo kit out.
Thats why they are probably the most
expensive. How would you like your car
doing 9's with thier package. Also
the most streetable and stock sounding.

I wouldnt call LPE's the best if you dont actually have one. I have heard they have the same problem as the Incon kits as far as scavenge pumps. Sure they make great power but I have heard the pumps burn out every 6 months...

Just a FYI Breathless = CAS. The CAS one is pretty nice, at least the prototype was. I havent seen if it has been changed or anything.

The halltech one takes quite a bit of modifying of the accessories and such doesnt it? I know it looked cool as heck though, and the turbos were up high so scavenging wouldnt be a problem.

And whatever you do stay the heck away from Cerra racing...unless Comp can grind you a cam where half the lobes are like 210/205 and the other half are 230/240 or something...LOL

Well I may not have one. But driven in one was sure

from Magazines and owners.O ya about those pumps. Im sure they fixed the problem by now. If they havent, the TWO year warrenty on the cars always help. But your right pugs. I cant say there the best. There ONE of the Best. Better.....
