Single Turbo 2010 Camaro SS
Have you guys seen this Camaro yet? I am thinking about getting this turbo kit for mine. Everyone told me that you guys were knowledgeable and for me to come over here from Camaro5 to ask you what you think.

I don't know anything about that particular turbo kit, but I'm going to have mine fabbed up by one of the Board vendors. I'm also looking into starting off with a T-6 flange so I have room to grow on once I build my motor. That way if I decide to go massive turbo, I may be able to get away with just swapping the turbo & DP.

It seems to be a well put together kit and they are selling it for $5995. It has a T4 flanged turbo so you could fit up to a GT47R which is good for 1200whp. I can't imagine you going for more than that. There is a huge thread on the camaro5 forum if you wanted to see about it. I don't know everything about turbos but it looks good to me.

I would disagree. For $6000 dollars you can have over 700 whp. Besides a crazy shot of nitrous, I don't know what else you could get for that price that would give you that much bolt on horsepower.
Many people have made high 600's to low 700's with that turbo to the wheels.
Remember that is on an automatic on wastegate springs (8.5 psi) that's actually the lowest horsepower it will possibly make.

No, for $6,000 there is NOTHING that will out perform a properly tuned turbo setup... They are not even pushing this setup at 8.5psi... add a little methanol injection and you could easily see numbers in the low 700s... this is on a STOCK engine... add a cam and expect another 75-100hp at that level. Either way they are leaving a lot on the table with only 8.5 psi, but I can understand why they dont turn it up... 8.5 is a safe number to advertise.
The reason why the turbo is "small" is that it's designed to be a street friendly setup... There is no sense in putting a 1000fwhp capable turbo on a car that will never break 800, all you're doing is making the car a turd... From the videos, this setup sounds very well matched for a stock engined car. Contrary to popular belief, bigger is not better when it comes to turbos. A matching combo is the most important part of a turbo setup, and this one appears to be right on the money.
