    LMFAO!!
    "Your once new car has started misfiring and you are confused on what to do. Do not ponder so much because there is a new Grand Prix supercharger now available in big towns and over the internet."

    Nevermind that it is a 12v fan that goes in your intake plumbing, but the incoherent paragraph describing the item should be enough of a deterrent.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    ZZP Canned tune on my turbo GP no issues for 7 months. Just saying. I have a cartuning kit so I can't comment how the ZZP one works. I don't recall hearing anything negative though. Which ZZP kit are you referring too?

    Yes and no. Could you drive around with the factory PCM untill you can get a tune. Yes, I did it for a month. I would highly advise NOT going WOT until you have a proper tune.

    No, intercoolers are not needed. Some run without one, but what fun is it if boost is limited? Furthermore why wouldn't you want the maximum amount of horsepower out of your turbo kit?

    And please don't post asking if X eBay turbo kit would work. If you can't identify why they won't then you shouldn't even be looking at turbo kits.

    First, where are you located? Are there any GM Performance shops around? If that shop can tune an LS engine and has a good reputation your GP will be fine. I run a Z7 kit but its an older one it used the bolt on wastegate and 5 bolt back housing the new kits have V-bands which make the install much easier. The cartuning kits got a bad rap because of the crappy customer service and the fact that he's in canada. you're going to need a wideband, a boost gauge and a scanner to keep an eye on things.

    You are telling someone who is trying to help that has done a turbo converstion on their car to cool it? Someone who has been there and done what you want to do? Seriously? And you never posted anything about an eBay turbo kit I did in hopes you wouldn't post that question. Your posts scream that you have no idea what you are about to get yourself into, and I was trying to steer you clear of that. Sounds like you have things under control here. Carry on...
