what would be the best turbo for a single remote mount turbo. im fabbing up my own kit and i need to know what size turbo, a/r ect everything. if anyone has a link to a turbo that would work i wold appreciate it. i have a 2002 automatic ss, it has longtubes and high flow cats, made 345 hp at the wheels on the dyno. Im looking for littlest lag and to make 600 rear wheel max. thanks
go to the sts turbo website. ststurbo.c o m (with no spaces in the 'com') - they seem to be the most popular with these remote-mount turbos. the smallest size they offer is a 60mm - i wouldnt go any smaller than that because LS1s have a lot of displacement so even 60mm turbos have full spool by like 3000rpm or so. a 60mm turbo isnt even considered large for the supra community. call up sts, they have all different sized garretts depending on your power levels.

im diggin i know, but this website is dead on the subject so im trying to get some new fresh ideas.
first off to answer teh old question, nothing less then a T70 with .81 for starters. anything less and you limit the motors higher RPM capibility to produce power. alot of people have been recommending T76's as starting points and have had really good output with them.
anywho, whats new lol
Kinda glad you're bringing the FI section back to life. I may be venturing into a turbo car for a 2nd toy in the future.
lol YOU AGAIN! lol
yep, trying to get alittle attention on here lol
Sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up that someone else actually was posting in here :lol:
LOL no its all good, at least someones paying attention to me lol maybe these threads will pick up and I can learn somthing lol
Yeah ive been watching alot of drag racing and those turbo cars kick some ass! along with the nitrous cars too! Man they make alot of Horsepower,A guy in town had a twin turbo set up on his SS and it screamed!!
JunkyardTurbos com may help.
used that website for alot of info. used alittle more technical items though lol
My Mom has an '89 20th Anniversary TA - I think that's a good starting platform. :DQuote:

I personally like the rear mounts on the GTO leaves more room in the engine bay,its a much cleaner look,no need to remove air conditing,or remove the battery and put in trunk,works as a daily driver in the real world.
rear mounts work,been running them since 2007.ive done front mounts but they just are not the viable on a street gto with all accessories.
your mom has one of these ?
