DIY Turbo Kit for LFX?
Hi, so I've been wanting to make a turbo kit for the Camaro. There's a shop near me where they will build a turbo kit and tune it for our cars, issue being turbos are underneath the cars. I am the type to love showing off and was thinking of creating my own turbo kit from an existing kit. Is this a good idea or is there a reason why I've only seen rear-mounted and underneath turbos for our cars? And I am aware of the procharger but not good enough sound but if I am desperate I will go for that option.

Been researching a bit and I think I would be able to use the kit pretty seamlessly. I was worried about oilling the turbo because I dont know where it is in the engine but I forgot oilless turbos exist. And as for the exhaust manifold, alot of welding will be happening to fit it. Everything else is basically plug n play since SS models share the same chassis and everything except engine. If anyone is curious about which kit Im looking at here you go https://huronspeed.com/product/cam5t4/

Note: 550whp reliability really depends on the upkeep/maintenance of your current engine. Ex: Before I forged/built my engine, I blew a rod w/several damaged pistons due to confirmed lack of maintenance by the previous owner of my car.
