Im looking to convert my 2001 GTP to a turbo. I need some recommendations for a website were I can purchase a turbo installation kit
 


Well now you have the answer my man. Take your pick at which kit and have fun blowing your tranny.

Did I say have fun blowing your stock trans? Nope. You could have all the upgrades done to a 4t65e, but if you're going to go nuts with boost and drive like a madman just to have 500whp or whatever you want to achieve, you'll smoke even a studly built trans.

434/400 @ 13psi with filter
446/403 @ 13psi without filter (little bit of a gain there)
511/446 @ 16psi without filter (same psi at the track)
529/472 @ 17psi without filter .. was on the verge going lean. So we called it a day.

Just to show you how insane 25-35 PSI is.

Hence...when I say...you'll blow your trans or something else. Sticky drag tires = a blown tranny right quick with enough repetitive pulls and heat. You can argue your case all you want but there is something that has been tried, tested and true with this platform...our trannys SUCK with more than 350WHP. Shiet.
 


I am saying what I will and will continue to do so. Don't come crying back on here asking for help when you grenade your car. Have a nice day.
 


it sounds good on paper but its not really as cheap as it seems when you actually get to it, your going to spend in the area of 20K to build that car and have it half way reliable at that power level
 
How did I miss this thread earlier....to the OP...what all do you have done to the trans currently?

And like everyone said that kind of boost isn't needed. 15psi-22psi is about as high as anyone goes one these setups.
