Thanks for the compliments, built it when I had way to much money to burn, built it twice actually. In reality we all have sweet rides in our own rights, and constant modifications dreams to still pursue. Love all the members here and the positive atmosphere. A Monte Carlo comraderie, help others,rib each other, lend an ear and give us all a place to feel as a family. Great forum.....

Well, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make your Monte sound less than it was.
His original post was basically just asking about a turbocharged 3.8. I simply told him it's the SAME engine (which it is, yours is just upgraded) and a turbocharger was added to it. Yes you have done A LOT. Which you should, you should always do supporting modifications. However if the OP wants a turbo'd Monte, he really only has to buy a kit and it is a reality.
To the OP, this is the kit that I am HOPEFULLY getting and putting on this year: ZZPerformance - ZZP Z3 Turbo Kit #ZZ-Z3TK
I am also going to then save up after I get that kit on and purchase a TEP built transmission: Transmissions
After the : are links. Our forum doesn't show a link as blue.

Take care CHIBIBLACKSHEEP.
Hey hi, no it's far from a kit. Though there are kits available. This whole engine / tranny has been totally built, balanced and blueprinted. Nothing like a bolt on kit. This is a custom engineered turbocharged 3800. We left nothing to chance this time around. Would dare say this is one of the best engineered / built 3800 Turbocharged setups going. Took almost a year to scratch our heads, build, redo and redo things, built the tranny to it's fullest potential with mods not done before. So it in all modesty screams down the road pretty well. A GT500 and I raced at the Rocky Mountain track and it was a battle. He hole shot me, then the turbo came on and I passed him, and right at the finish line he edged me by a fender. LOL it was a nice race, So no it's not even close to being a kit at all. Thanks for posting the video. I need to post more of the car, but have formatting issues. Need a different camcorder.

Well lets just say it was an insane amount of money to build the whole car. Staggering amounts in parts and labor......Sometimes I wonder if it was worth it, other times I thoroughly enjoy the car, should I have a chance to do it over I would have stopped thousands of dollars back.
