Re:Make a Turbo for my Vette?
don't listen to shaved civic he is just some stupid gook or something. 79 vettes came with shitty low compression 350s. so you could make some turbos work with it pretty easy. do the TT, that way you can have two small turbos making boost instead of one large one. it'll cut down on spool time and give you more tourqe. runnin 8psi and you will roast any gook mobile that isnt' a full blown dragster.

swap the engine for a better vette engine. I think that year had the emmisions crap and made the car only have like 150hp.
And stealthmode, wicked is not a term used by "them damn canadians". Don't get me started on slang terms used by different countries. roof, not ruff. etc..
wicked is something used in england so know your ---- before you start bad mouthing other people.

Re:Make a Turbo for my Vette?
i have to agree with random on this one the TT setup would rock. Although if you only use a single turbo you will have to create a crossover pipe to connect the two headers togather. As for twin turbo vettes i have seen them as well as twin supercharged ones , if you wanna do it then do it don't let someone discourage you

just supercharge it and get a different hood. if you cant fit a roots supercharger in there then 2 turbos, 2 turbo manifolds, downpipes, wastegates and charge pipeing is not gonna fit.
you could do it but there would be a lot of modification that would have to be done to the car.

Re:Make a Turbo for my Vette?
twin turbo can be done look at the TT linfinger vettes. I would say look at one of the setups on a linfinger and go from there ,get some ideas and so fourth. Besides turbos are so much more easier and less expensive to work with then a supercharger.
