MAPerformance 5th Gen Camaro Turbo Kit Development and Progress Thread At MAPerformance we attribute our success in the turbocharged sport compact market to having a passion for the platform. Our staff was hungry for knowledge and driven to extract performance; not only in the workplace, but also in their free time as they owned the vehicles themselves. With that being said, when members of our team started to move into new platforms that ranged from the Pontiac GTO to various LS swapped chassis' including an FD RX7 and multiple S10 trucks our next endeavor seemed pretty obvious.
Shortly thereafter we acquired two new platforms from which we would begin our journey; A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro (which will require a separate thread entirely) and a 2010 2SS/RS LS3 Chevrolet Camaro. Our 2010 project started with the basics which have now become our Stage 1 and Stage 2 packages, but the end goal was always forced induction. At this time we intend to develop two kits; An "Economy" kit for the budget minded consumer and a "Race" version for those seeking 4 digit horsepower numbers and single digit 1/4 mile times
The purpose of this thread is to share development of these kits with the community and perhaps garner some insight along the way.
Development will start with the "Economy" kit which is already underway, please feel free to share your comments and/or suggestions!

We will be retaining the stock passenger side manifold to keep it budget friendly, I think our pricing target will be a pleasant surprise

Likely not without some modification to the components, however, if there was enough demand it is certainly something we could look into

Its not your typical "log" manifold as the transitions are much better than we have seen on the market, we will post some pics shortly. However, we did choose to only replace one manifold and go the "log" route to keep costs down. The goal for this kit was to keep it economical
Preliminary results show full boost by 2800 rpms and ~620whp on 93 octane at 10psi
