When you guys went turbo what did you go turbo from?
What did you upgrade to?
How did it feel power wise and emotional wise?
Tell us some stories about things you learned and had to adjust to.

Thanks. Hopefuly this will turn into a good thread for people who are thinking of converting.

Turbos and auto are the only way to go

I went from:

Stock Eaton with 2.80, full exhaust, CAI, and tune (483rwhp) to Whipple (550rwhp @ 15psi) to the turbo (612rwhp @ 15psi).

At first I missed the low end, but nothing compares to the top end charge the turbo has.

I will let you know in a week, my procharger went 480rwhp at 6800rpm.
My turbo setup should been done pending Difeo completes everything this week.
I am expecting around 500rwhp for my break in tune and over 700rwhp after I break in the motor. My combo is built motor, porter intake, portedheads, cams etc, all supporting mods.... Hopefully I will be extremely happy consdering all the money I have put in the project.

Hell T76 667/599 @ 15psi 93oct.

I get home from Iraq Thursday, and I will let you know the emotional part than. But the numbers speak for themselves.

^^^^^
I went stock eaton right to
Kenne bell 2.2 running 17 lbs
then back to stock (was going to sell and get a new Z glad I didn't)
Then on went my T76GTS .96 ex housing at 14 lbs 17 degrees timing so far! I will bump it up if I ever go to the track! Power is crazy for the street! 8 lbs eaton compared to 8 lbs turbo is just sick! I don't miss the the heaton or the Twin screw at all! I get full boost just about 4k I have no complaints :rockon:

Previous combos were n/a 2v, and a novi 2k 2v..
Now I have a fully built billet 5.5 DOHC with custom twin 67s..
