OK so I have the turbo bug. I am very interested in moving over to one.
Here is a brief summary of what I have now-> 04 SVT Cobra convertible 60k miles, factory long block, TVS 2.3 w/ VMP GT500 TB, return fuel 60# injector, dual 255lph pumps, head cooling mod, killer chiller, factory exhaust manifold, mac pro chamber offroad mid pipe, borla ATAK mufflers and suspension work. Car puts down about 630 whp @ 18psi on 93 octane.
Can someone who's successfully been down the path of coming from supercharger to turbo tell me what I should do?
Here are some basic questions I have:
1) Dual or single turbo?
2) Are internal engine mods, such as new cams recommended when moving to turbo?
3) What boost level can the factory long block support on a turbo setup on pump 93? (I have no access to reliable E85 here) What power does this typically yield?
4) How are IAT2's handled on turbo? Are they just as important as a supercharged setup? Do I keep the intercooler and heat exchanger on turbo setup? Will my killer chiller continue to function as is? Or do I not need it, or is there something better?
5) Most importantly, what is the average cost to move over to a turbo or twin turbo setup?
6) Are there any turbo kits on the internet that I should be looking at? If so can you provide a name of the kit or a link? If not, what parts should I be looking for?
7) any other important questions I'm not thinking of please do tell.
thanks
