Default TwinTurbo***

Hey guys.

I was wondering if any of you know if its possible to buy an LS1 that has been prepped for turbo. Pistons, valves, etc.

Im going for TwinTurbo next season, but i thought it might be cheaper to buy a complete "race"-engine instead of upgrading my stock LS1.

Many of the vendors on here will build you a short or long block for whatever purpose you might have whether it be an all out nasty NA setup or for a TT setup. A&A, LG, MTI, LAPD just to name a few.

I`m sorry. I was kind of in a hurry when i put up the thread..

I live in Norway and I just bought a 1997 from Iowa. Only driven 45000 miles.

Manual gear, fog lights etc.

A friend of me is going for a bigger turbokit, so i bought his old ones(in good condition). This was a complete Lingenfelter-kit, with a front, center-mounted intercooler.
