Road/race Turbo Kits
well there may be a way to reach 200 hp i am trying a few things rite now so it might work. If you want and intercooler you might have to relocate your battery to the trunk that is maybe the only way you can do it
Rock, I need new pistons first, right? How about the rods, just a shot peen and magnaflux with arp bolts if I can get em?
How about cutting the head and a valve job too?
200 horse there maybe? (manual trans.)

You do not need pistons or rods. Can run little higher boost (190 whp) on manuel trans. Keep in mind 180 whp and already about 200 hp at the crank!!! No internal mods needed. As for why we are expensive? Because you get all the small little details with our kit. Details cost money!

Have some instructions. Rest we talk you through. Ask guys who have done the install. They had no problems. If they had questions. We avtually answer the phone and talk you through it.

Yeah, the reason the automatic kit is non intercooled is because of the automatic transmission's apparent inability to maintain grip when HP is increased too much. The intercooler itself would fit, but running such low boost you're unlikely to run into the heat issues that would necessitate the cost, use and installation.
EDIT: Though I dunno if the piping on the intercooled kit would fit around the auto tranny. Any word, Rob?

with the intercooled turbo can you rase the boost more then 8 psi if you got a boost controller and all the other little things you need to rase the boost to like 15 to 20 psi? and how much is the intercooled turbo ?
