Default A few turbo questions.

How come I can't find a place that sells a turbo? Do people just not make them? I've finally got some spending money together. And I can't find one. Could anyone help me out? Any sites where you can order a turbo? I live in Houston TX, anyone know of a place down here that could help me out? I got people to do the install.


Thanks,
Grid

at auto zone? man....that adds a whole new lame-ness to them. ahem anyway, i would just go online then and find a good priced one and have it shipped to me. then find somewhere fairly close to pop it in. by the way hats off to you for wanting to turbo. most people on this site want to supercharge, which is cool and all, but we want the BIG numbers dont we? LMAO i want to twin turbo my 07 gt...thatll be fun to drive in rain....

Haha. Right! Yeah, I think me and my Sis are going to go with one of the turbos from TMA not totally sure where were going to get it yet. But we got some work cut out for us for a little bit. She's about to slap on a turbo on her SRT-10. When we get done with that job, were going to put one down on my stang. I'm so stoked!!

The reason more people go the S/C route is simply because there is a lack of reputable turbo builders building v6 kits, hence the whole reason this thread was started. If TMA began to produce kits in higher numbers and sell them to dealers then turbos would be more prevalent.

Andy doesn't have that big of a demand to start making "bulk" turbo kits.

You can buy from from him TMA TURBO.....


You can still make 500rwhp + out of a s/c
