Turbo

Post by landcrush »

I’ve only seen one member on here with a turbo build. Anybody else done it on a caprice?

I’ve seen a few twin set ups on G8s, interested in any single turbo builds.

Not sure if the owner of the car is a member of this forum, but HunterTuned on YouTube had a couple videos dialing in a single turbo Caprice. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCanabQ ... ry=caprice

I'll be finishing mine up in the next couple weeks just working the bugs out now. I bought the kit from cartuning.ca it is ment for a g8 so there was a little bit of modification needed but not much and I documented everything and sent the kit builder pictures

That kit looks high quality. I’m just looking to get some design ideas layout etc. Does the crossover run under the trans or around the front ?

Under the trans definitely a higher priced kit but well worth it for the quality of parts and fab work
