Turbo Kit

I'm sure there is 1000 other threads about this but here goes anyway. I'm looking for a turbo kit. I know ZZP makes them and they seem like they add a lot of power. Has anyone put on a ZZP, what stage, and your thoughts about would be awesome. Are there anyother brands that make turbo kits? Anyone who has turboed one of these engines and has 2 cents to put in please do. I need all the options and tips I can get before I invest a ton of money. Also if there are other threads that you have found helpful, please put in a link if you want. Thanks in advance.

Yes I am on stock internals, its been almost a year now.

Unofficially with a dash hawk I've done 111mph in a 1/4 mile,
heading to Roswell Dragway friday night to see what it will do.
Hoping for 113+ tomorrow night.

Here is a link with instructions, but you'd have to be a member
to see the pics.

Damn can't believe your internals have lasted that long and I just turbo'd my car but my new turbo is leaking oil from what I'm guessing a blown oil seal

These LE5's are stout and seem to handle alot of power.

Cherry, Keep us posted on how your night turns out at the track.

I can believe it !

Only issue has been an exhaust leak at manifold.

No idea of hp at 6psi.

I did not make it to the track.
I now have a leak that I'll be finding
tomorrow, would only hold 7psi then.
