does anyone run this kit on stock trannys, other than a cooler, programing and shift kit? if you properly size the turbo the boost should actually be easier on a transmission than a NOS hit. especially if you roll race your car.

Boost is boost does not matter what size turbo. How much boost you run is your choice but if anything boost is generally going to murder your trans before nitrous will. Boost more of a constant the nos is since your not spraying the majority of your driving.

Good luck, took me several weeks to get ahold of someone, eventually I just returned the parts and filed a dispute with my credit card company.

What would you want to spend money with a company you can't contact?

Man ive been trying to contact kevin or anyone at cartuning for that matter ever since i purchased my kit early last year.they will not respond to phone calls or emails.first off i ordered kit feb.16 an after they shipped it to a previous customer 3 months later he refused package "thank god" an a week later it arrived.dont get me wrong i love this kit, I just don't understand what's going on with Kevin and the guys at cartuning. Also if anybody has the 3-inch upgraded path kit 3-inch electronic exhaust cutout and rear manifold for sale let me know, I'm very interested and buying!!!!! If any of you guys have any questions about the cartuning turbo kit you can send me a personal message and I'll be glad to help you

I have the Turbo kit on my GXP now. 5lbs boost right now. I can tell you for sure the N/A LS4 will never gain or stay even at any point from a complete stop position. I put Michelin AS4 sport on the front and they are glue on the road. Also,the N/A LS4 will not let you put the pedal to the floor right off the rip. The tune from the kit removes that governor. The pull from the turbo is so constant...especially in second and third. The short of it is the stock GXP is left in the exhaust from the turbo GXP.

Kevin is tuning me up in a couple weeks to up the boost to 10 or 12 pounds of boost. The only comp on the road from N/A motor has a wicked high price tag. The C8 vette had trouble and i am running 5 lbs of boost. He was pissed!!
