would work great for a low boost (under 10 PSI) setup. Past that, the GM8 (that's the model of turbo you have, built by IHI for GM) becomes very inefficient. 10 PSI would be more enough to make a boatload of torque though.

Thanks Josh,<br> let me ask u do i have to hook it up to my exhaust to make it work or do u know an easy alternative to have intake spool it. I think 10 psi would be a hell of amount of boost to give me an easy 100 hp.<br>Thanks for the input<br>David

shockj, yes you need to hook it up to exhaust for it to work, you may be in a little over your head if you don't already know that. I would suggest that you do some serious research and invest time in understanding the fundamentals of how a turbocharger works and all the required modifications to make a turbo setup work properly and not damage the motor. There is a lot that goes into a turbo setup, it's not just bolt on a turbo and go, you WILL blow up the motor if you dont know what you're doing. So don't set yourself up for failure, do the homework before you start any turbo project, I suggest you start by reading the stickies in the forced induction forum. Good luck to you.
