GT28 IIRC is a very nice turbo upgrade. 

If you want a bolt on upgrade without having to do any modiifcations I would talk to flybynite about a disco potato upgrade......of course tuning is going to be required with any turbo upgrade.........have fun:)

How expensive is it from him?  Right now I'm just looking for the models of turbos that work well on our cars so I can buy one cheap off of a friend.

What do you guys think about the GT2871R?  I remember Kuntzie was running one a while back.. 

What would I need to do to my car if I threw one of these in?  Tune, higher flow injectors, different boost controller, different fuel pump?  To the more experienced on here, tell me what I am looking at please. :icon_cool:

See my sig  :laugh:.  Good tune......really good tune....did I mention tune?  Umm you car has to be running correctly to start off with......going to want 28 lb injectors depending on how big you go........boost controller.....walboro 255 pump........I would recommend LC-1 wideband and all the datalogging stuff to get you that good tune.......eventually going to need exhaust work to free it up if you have not done so already......I'm sure there is more.   It won't be cheep.  I'm not going to tell you what Adam will charge you....I'm just the messenger :) PM him and ask......I'm pretty sure it will be cheeper than that turbo you guys posted up ;)  Have fun!

Ok, switching gears here, I am replacing the vacuum modulator in the TGP now, and the one I bought from O'Reillys is adjustable..  what should I set it to for this transmission?

However you like it.....hard or soft.........just make sure u don't set it so firm that you hear the pump whining as you wind the motor out.  Have fun.

I can rebuild your turbo back to stock specs for $350 shipped back to you. I also can get you a package deal... Injectors, turbo and the tune if you have the $$$$ and the BALLS for 280-300 WHP.   :icon_eek:      It's all in what you want to do.....

I want 280-300 whp... >.>

Ok well how much money for this 280 - 300 hp turbo, tune and injectors?

What size of turbo? Bolt on? any mods required for 02 sensor location etc?

How big of injectors?

Walbro 255 needed?

You have my interest......

I'm interested, though I wouldn't mark me down for one just yet...PM me all the info, please.

Adam and I have worked closely on my car and I'm probably in that power range right now.  Basically he will take your stock T25 and upgrade it to a Disco Potato or T28 ish specs.  You can check out the potato on Garretts website :

Injectors I'm running are 28 lbs/hr from an LS1.  I also have a 255 Walboro.  At 12.8 psi I ran a 14.5 - 14.6 with this setup on a hurt motor.  I'm expecting very low 14's high 13's with my rebuilt motor/cam and new tune at 16 psi  :icon_eek:. 

I HIGHLY recommend Adam for this work.  He is not only very knowledgable of TGP's but GM tuning and mechanics overall.  He has excellent customer communication, timely turn around on his work, an excellent warrentee on all work he does.  Not only that but he is going to support you after the sale, which is not something you get with some of the other guys.  He has helped me though MANY (lost count ;)) problems with my setup. 

Check out his sig.....all his cars he has tuned himself/built including N/A Iroc which is in the 11's in the quarter I suspect.

Thanks Ken, You pretty much summed it up. Disco potato style turbo + 28lb injectors + 255 walboro + a VERY good tune = a  :icon_biggrin:  and 280-300whp. PM for more details...
