So if you dont mind I'd like to ask you a few questions. Is that your daily driver? How many miles have you driven since having the turbo setup? I want to clarify again you are running it on stock internals correct? As far as boost goes, is it not hard on your engine especially with the high compression GSR motors have and driven daily? Why the CTR cams and not the stock GSR cams( I know they higher duration and lift figures)? Last but not least as far as maintenance have you had any turbo parts break or go bad? Any leakage, losss of compression, or any negative sideeffect? Thanks Schmoo. Oh one more thing what are you running anyway on the quarter mile and what are your dyno figures.
It isn't really anything special.

It is my daily driver. The turbo has been on for a year and a half now, so I probably have 10-15k miles on the setup. Yes, I am running stock internals. I haven't had a problem with the high compression, you just need to retard the timing a bit more to make sure there is no detonation. CTR cams will flow better than the GSR ones and they have minimal overlap, which is good for turbo. I haven't had any turbo parts break on me at all, but the piping has blown off half a dozen times, but that is normal. I also had to replace the piston rings because they were shot before I put the turbo on and the turbo magnified how bad they were letting oil into the combustion chamber.
I have no quarter mile or dyno numbers....yet. I'm hoping for high 12's with slicks and hopefully 250 whp fully tuned at 10-11 psi.
