Im looking to turbo a 89 camaro... Its a 383 with. 9.5.1.comp. it has 500hp to the crank. I dont know speciffics on the internals because its my cuzins car. its carburated as of right now plans to change to FAST’s EZ-EFI, version 2.0. Just wondering what is the best turbo set up to go with? a detailed list would be greatly appreciated. Hes looking to spend up to $5k on the setup... is that reasonable or should he be looking at more?

If he wants to pump gas I can tell you he either needs to lower the compression or he'll be lucky to run 10 psi on pump gas.
Edit: Just thought, or he could switch to E85

All your answers should be in here.

I thought compression was lil high to. I told him 8.5.1 would be perfect But what do I kno im just lil cousin that has a 625awhp 95 3000gt vr4 that knows nothing. Lol.. its fine tho I aint mad. But anyways this is a crate engine that he says was made for forced induction. And he plans on running E85. car isnt finished just about dun with all the wiring

It's hard to tell who's who on a forum. Sounds like you got a sweet car! Always liked them VR4's. Always beat the SL'S but couldn't touch a VR4.

You check out either of them videos?

Or you could use a highly efficient intercooler, and methanol injection. XS POWER has a kit for 3rd generation f-bodies , but I question the quality. Banks makes the best quality stuff that I have seen but it's expensive ... ATP turbo has a great selection of quality parts at good prices if you have the capability to build your own system. Sounds like fun! AWD is an unfair advantage by the way...
