Turbocharged 85 Vette
Has anyone here installed, or know of anyone who has installed the C4 Turbo kit from HP Performance? They offer 3 kits depending on weather you want to use your stock engine or build a lower compression turbo engine. It looks like a pretty nice kit and has everything you need for the modifications. I would be interested in talking with someone who has done this. Anyone? Thanks, Troy
P.S. I bought an 87 Grand National that will embarass most cars on the road going thru the gears. I love my 85 Vette with it's torque-monster L98 but there is no comparrison to the Buick's Turbo 6. It's time to play again. It would be quite unique too.

I agree.
This turbo kit seems fantastic, especialy for immediate low end torque on daily driving and highways. No need to go up revs to have power. 350 hp and 500 trq available at 3000 rpm! This is a must.
I am really interested in this setup for my car on germans roads.
This is exactly the kind of power I am looking at with stock Rpms.
Have anyone encountered difficulties ?
Anyone with experience and pics ?
Thanks in advance!
