oh WHAT!!... not WHEN LOL
I thought you asked WHEN! hahaha
it's the stock D16Y7 for now, but there is a spare D16Z6 with internals in the making. but I wanna get it running with the stock Y7 first before I start putting together the Z6.
When the Z6 is in, I'll be looking at ~300 HP.
That's all I want cuz past that I'll be facing overwhelming traction issues as well as limitations of the SOHC tranny.

Bruno, JC...those the guys I give the mad respect to..
making the most out of something, and sticking to their guns when the overwhelming majority says to do it on a larger platform.
Can't wait to see when its done B

thank you Matt! I've been tempted many times to just give up and toss in an easy bolt in solution for power. like a bolt on turbo kit or even a B18C. In total spent, it would have been about the same. But then I'd never have the pleasure of saying... i BUILT this motor, and i MADE this turbo kit. and that is where this hobby is at, and that's what makes it fun. it's not about how deep your pockets are. just look at the guys from homemadeturbo.com their cars look like crap but go like stink
scarlemthug... it's all about area under the curve if the max output numbers are the same.
so whoever has the greater area under the curve will pW0n j00

should be interesting, yours will prolly be up and running for awhile before mine is even installed. Im probably going with a super 60 T3 unless i come into some cash and then ill be looking into a GT28RS with the T3 drop-in housing.
Cant wait to see some of these turbo setups in the summer.

10K doesn't get you very far the NA route.
IMO, for 10K you should toss a K20A in there.
but I know/understand what you're talking about, so whatever you do is good.
as for your Buick... I have wet dreams about it sometimes.
