Thread: supercharger intercooler interchangeable with turbo?

i have a 99 gtp and i plan on buying the z7 turbo kit from zzp, i already have the wbody store stage 2 intercooler for the eaton. Will it work for the turbo build? Plus i want some help on what heads and cam to get with this build. Where should i take to get it tuned?

Yes you can use the SC intercooler if you keep the blower on top, but you should pull the internal from the blower. You would see better gains with L26 upper and lower intake and HV3 with an air to air front mount intercooler though. I wouldn't install unless you have some plan to get it tuned before driving too far.

where would i take it to get it tuned? the kit comes with a pre-tuned pcm for the turbo but i would have to get it tuned for the heads and the cam right?

Yes. HP Tuners is fun. Keep all old files and save after every change you make.

I have never had to "tune" anything extremely different for turbo cars before... I run most everything on a nearly stock tune.

You could probably sell your blower intercooler and install a nice water to air intercooler off of ebay and gain 100x more cooling for a profit.
