Default turbo expert needed

I have a 95 ls but have noticed that the 96 greddy turbo kit is alot cheaper. i have heard with a different header and exhaust i could run the 96 turbo is this true? If not is there another way and what would that be?

Yes, you would need a longer downpipe and a different charge pipe. This is due to the longer cat of the GSR compared to the LS and the different intake manifold entrance port.

You would need the longer cat from the 94-99 GSR for it to bolt up right. Any competent exhaust shop can modify the downpipe to bolt right up.

The charge pipe will be the problem, though. You will need to get an LS charge pipe because the difference in position of the opening port of the manifold is about 4-5 inches higher than the GSR's.
