Default Turbo!

so its not official yet but depending on my tax return and school loans my car will prolly get turbocharged in a month or so, i am extremely excited but kinda worried at the same time...one question i do have is does anyone know of any unit that would digitally display my boost gauges and control my boost on screen that also plays my music...basically a screen that will control my radio and my turbo lol i know its alot but i couldnt find anything and i thought maybe one of u would know

No idea man, are you doing the turbo yourself or are you taking it to a shop?

There's a Company in Hollywood that makes things like that happen.
Industrial Light and Magic.
They can make your car go the speed of light, fly, go underwater and if you add their Exclusive "Trans-flux Capacitor" ... all you need is a good Elapsed Time from Zero to Eighty-eight point nine six five Miles per hour ... and you can go back in time!

Wonder if they'd made a snow repeller for my car to keep all that damn stuff off...

I saw a GP sitting on the dyno at ZZP that was making something like 450 WHP with a turbo, and that was an L67 with a gutted M90 box on top. Turbos can make SERIOUS hp on these 3.8's, and the L36's have higher compression. Plan on going to an HD tranny and the bigger axles soon.
BTW, Zoomer's GP @ZZP makes 900hp on a TURBO! 9.01 in the 1/4. These W-bodys CAN and DO run QUICK! Intense has one right there also, at 600+hp

cartuning.ca for a kit that you can install in an afternoon. 115mph traps on a stock motor with alky injection and intercooler on a L36.
