Alright so I got to talking to my friend about turbo ing my 2001 grand prix gt. he said he can get me a turbo from a semi truck for $100. And he said is friend has done it and works good and he can put it in for me! But I might have to get different headers and then tune and get a dyno of it. Is this possible and safe for my car? I have 100,000 miles on it and it's in good shape just slight oil leak. Would it work from the same as a normal turbo?
 




Damn alright I'm doing it haha what all supporting mods do I need? And so total you'd have around 325hp?!
 




cheap injectors and a cheap walbro fuel setup will do 375whp pretty easily.... $200 there.
wastegate/bov/intercooler/install kit will run you about $300 on ebay prices.
A wideband is a good idea, not needed.
I ran a bone stock trans in a lighter car running really low 11s, so you really dont need a trans if you are not a stupid asshole that doesnt know how to drive a car making power.
Tuning is cheap, and you dont really need to even tune anything if you keep the whp under 375 (17psi) and run on a stock LT1 maf.

ghetto turbo kits have been done often, on stock transmissions... they work fine and are really easy to do.
