The Garrett SEMA L61 Turbo kit
I got an email today from Kyle Snyder with Garrett Turbo. He sent me the SEMA photos of the Garrett kit for the L61 and a PDF with stats.

The PDF document detailed the items in each kit, which was really just a complete kits, and then few parts for people that wanted to use any of their own parts, and a Dyno graph. I'll try to convert the PDF to a picture later this week. The Dyno was at 7psi, had a peak torque of 230 at about 3500 RPM and peak HP of 200 at 5000 RPM.
These picture are obviously just an engine stand mock up. I would have liked to have seen an in-car installation. But it's something.

The pictures posted here are the originals. That's what I was sent. At 14 psi, you would be making over 250HP, easily. The PDF for the full kit does say tuning is included. I don't know what they are using. I'll ask.

whats the clearence with the turbo to the firewall..i dont know if you guys know this but our engine does not like to stay in place. Did they happen to say how much clearence the kit has to the firewall. I sure wouldnt like a turbo to smash into my firewall. Judging by the pics first upgrade will be the wastegate..i dont know if its garrets wastegate, becasue the wastegate in kits tend to leak/bleed boost. kit looks nice. manifold looks very well fab. hard to tell from the angles of the pics cant get a good look at the flange to tell what type of turbo it is..guessing a t3/t4 .40 trim maybe..i would like to see a little more advertisement of this kit before anymore hype gets built up on it though

LOL rollerdan you are no longer using any peice of hardware that requires the air injection. your intake has been removed and the exaust manifold have been removed/changed.. so yes even the air injection engines will use this...you have your own type of air injection going on now...but you probally will have a CEL as soon as you install this kit.
