Now, with the new Camaro, I see more and more "Single turbo v.s. TT (only one company does TT). My confusion is, we are still dealing with the same V8 LS3 in Corvette, so why a large single turbo with lag v.s. TT for Camaro? Is it because of cost cutting? As someone in Turbo solution, wouldn't you agree a TT would be better and more responsive in low RPM?

Thank you in advance!

Since the Camaro is such a new car, not very many people are wanting to do extreme builds. It seems to be the same issue on the shop side of things, too. The problem is, the stock LS3 block can only handle so much power. That's why you're seeing "small" single turbos instead of twin builds. Nobody wants to spend "that much" money on a Camaro. Not yet, at least.

If the single turbo kit is built properly, there are no lag or spooling issues on this small of a horsepower scale.

We would definitely love to do a twin turbo 2010 Camaro. We just have to find an owner crazy enough to pull the trigger.

Give it some time, there will be twin turbo camaros everywhere...

Well another reason for doing a single turbo is to make it 50 state legal. While a lot of people don't typically care about that those of us in California don't have a choice. Making a kit 50 state legal gives everyone peace of mind when they get pulled over or have to smog the car every couple years.

You'll have to contact Turbonetics directly or a vendor for pricing. I'm not a vendor so I don't have any of those details sorry.

Videos coming in the next week or so. Turbonetics was working on the final tuning of the car after SEMA and they are closed this week. Probably another week or so.

This is the cleanest setup I've seen. What's the size of that turbo and any dyno graph to show TQ curve?

The turbo for the base kit will be a 61mm compressor. I don't have a dyno sheet yet. The car was back on the dyno for more tuning after SEMA and Turbonetics is closed this week so I should have more info on everything next week when everyone is back.

Is the $8000 with install and tune?

Turbonetics doesn't do installations at their facility. That number is probably not the final price either but I don't know for sure. The kit does come with a tune included so there shouldn't be any need to tune the car after. The kit does also include a 12 month / 12,000 mile warranty no fault no hassle. I personally know a G35 guy who had a Turbonetics kit on his car and got into a wreck. His intercooler and a bunch of his piping got mangled and Turbonetics replaced all of it for free without question.
