Just got back from my 500mile drive enjoying turbo spool and BOV all the way home. As for some of the comments.......long story short, I was able to get the turbo kit, ic kit, cam, and injectors for the exact same cost it would have taken me to go with 3.4, rockers, headers....I literally had all the parts to do the 3.4, rockers, headers and sold/traded everything for a full turbo kit. I got a great deal and the only downfall was that the turbo ended up having to be rebuilt which sucked but was expected going into it.
FYI after the drive it acts just like a totally stock vehicle...and is nice and quiet just like I wanted.
Andrew, I've got a Stattama kit with a T66 turbo waiting to go on the car that's in my sig....which does have a built trans in it.
As for all the transmission haters....yes running that much HP on the dyno is a risk. Car is going to be lock in gear and converter locked...most trans fails during the shift when there is the greatest shock load. On the dyno it should be fine....and if not I'm prepared to rebuild another trans (have 300m input shaft on the shelf waiting to go)
I think it will put down respectable numbers...I'm not looking to break into the top HP charts.
