    The CAI for those cars are for NA cars, not turbo cars....

    I must read like/come off as a retard! I've been looking into this stuff seriously to figure out what would work with a turbo set up. I found a couple websites that are helping me out.
    TurboClub.com General Turbo Modifications - Page 1 / 6 SUGGESTED MODIFICATION SEQUENCE
    Aftermarket Performance Parts Thread - LS1TECH

    I decided on definately getting the Cartuning Turbo-kit, the TEP transmission is being built already, I have to get that expensive stuff outta the way now or i won't have cash for it later. Other immediates are the Magnaflow Catback Exhaust - 2006-2007 Grand Prix GXP [16726] - $879.65$747.70 : MarylandSpeed.com- Your First Stop on the Way to Performance! exhaust but I'm keeping my stock tips, and one of these cams: Engine c/f or Engine c/f any suggestion on which one would be appreciated.
    I haven't found much info on Throttle Bodies, or much info on intake manifolds aside from the Ported LS4 manifolds or the LS6 and LS1 manifolds that are a pain to switch to. I was wondering if an Edelbrock manifold would fit, but nothing on their site helped me figure that out. Edelbrock.com - Manifolds - Pontiac
    I have to figure out the Intake and throttle body because I want them done at the same time as the Cam and exhaust, before the tune.

    Dyno tune, Rockers, suspension, Brake system, wheels and tires, body kit and paint job are getting planned out, but will come last, in that order.
    It'll be about four weeks before I post pics, because that's when the transmission will be mailed out, but what would pics of a transmission and a turbo really show? Aside from proof of installation, it wouldn't really change the way the car looks I don't think. Anyway, that's what's going on with my car so far.

    these two pages are telling me I should change to a foam air filter, and change to a cold air intake system, or one that pulls from in front of the radiator. So this 2005 - 2008 5.3L Grand Prix Intake System - 2007 - V8 5.3L - Grand Prix - Pontiac - Cold Air Intakes - Store intake system wouldn't help me out at all?
