well i have an 07 ls and now that im pretty much done with visuals i want boost. i want to go turbo unless anyone can convince me other wise. i just love that BOV sound.. hah.. but anyways.. i need a list of parts i will need. and an estimate.. if i slowely collect these parts used off of here. thanks in advance.

 

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

Parts you'll need, and prices

 

^^^ this

 

there are ALOT of threads about this. search and you can find everything you need

 

sellin my bolt on 400whp kit for $2700

 

i dont have that kind of money man.. i just wanna start collecting till i have everything

 

My turbo kit is custom but i bought it like that. I should have just bought the zzp kit, its better and WAY less problems

 

how much did you pay on a custom one

 

custom kits come with custon problems

i know from experience myself

 

you don't really do a custom piece by piece turbo set up, thats more for the supercharged way

 

why not?

 

there is a lot of different variables with a doing a custom turbo (A/R ratios on both sides of the turbo, running oil lines, intercooling piping, little problems and thinking you have all the pieces but you dont and it takes longer) You can do it, but i hope you know a lot about cars and have a second car to drive while building.

Supercharger build is a supercharger, intake manifold, heat exchanger, and reroute belt, which there are a lot of threads on supercharger builds for a reason.

 

huh? how do you figure?

 

true

 

^^ this

 

save up for a kit or do more research before you start piecing one together...

 

i dont have near enough for a kit.. so ill start research i guess

 

NJHK is a good resource for builds, he knows his stuff and can point you in the right direction, i think he has some turbo build starting threads, not sure what forums they're on but he has them

 

ill look into it

 

Really?, the zzp kit used a water cooled intercooler?

 

Yes, its a good idea less intake piping to run, and it should be less restrictive than going through an intercooler. But also costs more than an intercooler and is another part to break and/or fail

 

I don't know about this... Anybody got pics of this setup?

 

Air-to-air is better for normal driving. Water -to-air is better for drag racing.

 

This is conerboner's car but u can see his water intercooler "heat exchanger"

 

Check out Exsoccer1921 pics, he's full built ZZP

Or look at their website, they have a pic of it
