anyone know of the zzp turbo kit that comes with the already tuned pcm and everything? since i have no way of getting it tuned this would be perfect for me. but has anyone on this site ever installed a zzp turbo kit and hows it run?
 




this is junk isnt it lol i was wondering about the weirdness of it

Pontiac Grand Prix Supercharger Kit Electric Grand Prix Turbo Charger Bolt On

LMFAO!!
"Your once new car has started misfiring and you are confused on what to do. Do not ponder so much because there is a new Grand Prix supercharger now available in big towns and over the internet."

Nevermind that it is a 12v fan that goes in your intake plumbing, but the incoherent paragraph describing the item should be enough of a deterrent.

ZZP Canned tune on my turbo GP no issues for 7 months. Just saying. I have a cartuning kit so I can't comment how the ZZP one works. I don't recall hearing anything negative though. Which ZZP kit are you referring too?

id still have to get a tune wouldnt i? are intercoolers needed for turbos?
Yes and no. Could you drive around with the factory PCM untill you can get a tune. Yes, I did it for a month. I would highly advise NOT going WOT until you have a proper tune.

No, intercoolers are not needed. Some run without one, but what fun is it if boost is limited? Furthermore why wouldn't you want the maximum amount of horsepower out of your turbo kit?

And please don't post asking if X eBay turbo kit would work. If you can't identify why they won't then you shouldn't even be looking at turbo kits.

First, where are you located? Are there any GM Performance shops around? If that shop can tune an LS engine and has a good reputation your GP will be fine. I run a Z7 kit but its an older one it used the bolt on wastegate and 5 bolt back housing the new kits have V-bands which make the install much easier. The cartuning kits got a bad rap because of the crappy customer service and the fact that he's in canada. you're going to need a wideband, a boost gauge and a scanner to keep an eye on things.
 
to answere to txslow6 i was just kidding with the ebay turbo so cool it.

and yeah id rather just keep it stock then and find a gto or camaro that already comes with the hp. and there is nothing near vineladn nj like a gm performance shop or anything. everyones circled around little civics and crappy cars out here lol

You are telling someone who is trying to help that has done a turbo converstion on their car to cool it? Someone who has been there and done what you want to do? Seriously? And you never posted anything about an eBay turbo kit I did in hopes you wouldn't post that question. Your posts scream that you have no idea what you are about to get yourself into, and I was trying to steer you clear of that. Sounds like you have things under control here. Carry on... :)
 
im here to learn. thats it. never messed with a fancy 3800 before always worked on 350s and big block. then here comes this pcm and tuning stuff and its a whole new world lol
