    I was thinking about adding a turbo to my stock 08 gp base model. I was was wondering how easy this is to do with the zzp z7 kit. Will this kit even work with the '08s? Also what else would be involved parts wise?

    Thanks!

    it's not "easy" but it's not hard either. if you're going to install the kit yourself plan on it taking the whole weekend unless you're a mechanic. the kit should include everything you need.

    not sure about whether the 08 PCM can be tuned, but i'm sure there's a workaround somewhere

    I think the PCM is going to be the issue as I understand it.

    So how does the Z7 turbo for 04+ GP's stack up against the Cartuning turbo or Stattama?

    all the bolt up kits are basiclly the same. its just a matter of which brand you preferr. customer support, delivery, kit quality.

    I'd do a search about the pros, and cons of each kit. what people like, and what they dont.
