Anyone ever try turboing a probe gt....
I'm speaking of 2nd gens of course...first gen gt's are stock turbo
But i was thinking about getting one just as a project car, i would keep my daily driver and then just work on this one whenever i have the time...I've looked into it and it seems that there is a real big issue with space and i was wondering if anyone knows anyone who has tried it and knows how difficult it would be.
Thanks in advance for any responces.

yea...the most common placement of the turbo(well atleast the easiest way) requires you to modify the crossmember and then unless you somehow sneak a sidemount in there has you running your charge pipes back across the front of the engine to go to the intake manifold, so i wanna look into it a little more

These cars turboed are quick as hell, My buddy owns this, he's a very smart guy, everything was rebuilt, the engine has full aftermarket internals and everything was fabbed by him.
This thing is nuts, last year he was running 12.6 on slicks, this year its getting some more work done and he hopes to be in the 11's.
60ft 1.874
330ft 5.356

1/4 MPH 112.51

Ya, but from what I've heard the engines maybe fast but reliable as ----. They were complete lemons. I have a a few freinds who have had them (Probes and MX-6 same motor) and the engines couldn't take a beating in any way!
