Fabberge Twin Turbo Kit for my LFX Camaro

Hi everyone,

Fairly new to Camaro5... figured I'd start a thread now, but I made a deposit on the Fabberge twin turbo kit for my LFX using the group buy discount. I've been following various threads for the last year and finally made the decision. I spoke with Brian today and they are getting everything together for me. I am looking at some local shops here in Colorado to do the install. Can't wait for the kit to arrive!!! I'll post some pics of my car later today.

-Nick

Thanks! Is this the boost controller you used?

That's the one, works great for me. You'll want an air fuel gauge too I run the aem one so they match.

Damn I didn't know you were running nitrous. What made you want to change? And I had 32,000 miles when I put my kit on.

I've never owned a turbo car before so I was intrigued when I saw this kit. Also, some of my friends have turbo cars and I love them. Plus, I don't want to run nitrous on the street. I'm only running a 75 shot though.

I ordered that AEM boost controller/gauge and some Redline 5w40... I'm running 5w30 right now.
