Cartuning Performance 3800 Turbo Kit
[font=arial][size=2]3800 Performance is very excited to introduce the Cartuning Performance 3800 Turbo Kit, the first turbo kit on the market for the 3800 powered vehicles. We are currently offering this kit on a pre-order basis, with the expectation of first orders shipping to customers by 8/1/04.
We are taking pre-orders for the 1997–2003 naturally-aspirated 3800 L36 Grand Prix GT and Buick Regal LS models. Additional naturally-aspirated vehicles to follow in the near future are the Impala, Monte Carlo, and the V6 Camaro and Firebird.
The Cartuning Performance 3800 Turbo Kit has been in the works for the past 18 months, being extensively researched, developed, tested, and tuned. This kit wasn't just thrown together, and it shows! The kits come COMPLETE with everything needed, with expected installation time of less than 6 hours. The vehicle does not get modified in any way that does not allow it to go back to completely stock. All factory parts remain perfectly in tact with no cutting or modifications to the drivetrain or exhaust!
Now what everyone is wanting to know... on a completely stock L36 vehicle (which makes 160 HP on the dyno, 200 HP to the crank), the Cartuning Performance Stage 1 Turbo Kit makes 280 HP to the wheels and over 300 lb-ft of torque to the wheels. That is 350 HP to the crank, which is a 150 HP gain over stock!! How's that for one day's worth of work? The Stage 1 Kit is completely streetable, and is suitable for customers that want to bolt-on a turbo kit to a stock L36 vehicle that has little to no modifications and wants an exciting daily driver without having to modify it for months and months (sometime years!) only to get minimal performance gains. The Stage 1's turbo is good for up to 425 crank HP with additional supportive mods.
This is only the beginning though...
- For those needing more, you can upgrade the Stage 1 turbo to a custom-built Precision Turbo unit, which is capable of producing up to 700 crank HP!!
- A Stage 2 Kit is also being developed, for those customers that want to take their vehicles much further in the future, or that already have numerous mods that support more breathing. The stage 2 is currently being tested, but yet to be dyno tested. More info is forthcoming.
- Coming VERY soon is an adaptor plate to make the Turbo Kit work perfectly on a supercharged L67 Grand Prix GTP and Regal GS.
- Also coming soon is add-on front mount intercooler kit which will be a direct bolt on.
List of Components:

RE: 3800 `Turbo : )
The CT kit is pretty old, and I've heard there were some issues w/ it on cgp.
Personally I'd rather go with a zzp Z7 or stattama turbo kit myself.

And just when you thought I was done.... Guess who's aiming for it in his car this fall? =)

I think it's a member that wants the best performing,
and most powerful Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
on the roads of the KeyStone State.
A man dedicated to getting the most that he can
from a 3.8L.
I think his name is `Keegan
I look forward to reading about his progress to perfection.
To seeing your awesome Monte runn'in in the 12's, 11's,
and maybe in2 to 10 second bracket : ) WoW 
I envy his project, but I wish him the best.
Good Luck `Keegan, in reaching your goals.

RE: 3800 `Turbo : )
It's not necessarily the prodcut that is the issue. It's the support that clients demand of the owner once they receive the kit, and have amillion and 1 questions about how to put it together.
If you're a shadetree mechanic, you'll have no issues putting the kit together. Kevin (the owner) of Cartuning does amazing work for the local guys in my area, since they're local, and he installs the kit for them, and tunes it.
I've personally ran against a GTP with a intercooled and alky injected CT kit, stock motor (stock cam, stock rockers), stock manifolds, and he ran the same time as me, but was doing 8mph faster at the trap. He was doing 118mph to my 110. The only reason he didn't run a better time was because of the launch. He was on street tires, whereas I won't go to the track anymore without slicks.
Very good product, but be sure you know what you're doing when you put it together, and/or tune it yourself afterwards. The owner is running the show pretty much by himself, so there's not alot of ability to support clients 24/7 and hand hold them through the installation and troubleshooting. They're buying the product, not the support IMHO.
So, that would explain why people in the US are miffed about the "product" they got.
As for ZZP or Stattama's kits, I have heard great things about them. To me, a turbo is a turbo... slap it on, make sure it's tight and tuned, and strap yourself down for the ride, because you're going places... FAST.
