Ok cool, but are these turbo's reliable as in longevity? Will I have to replace them in the near future? I do not have much experance with turbo's so I do not know what the deal is as in maintenance and so forth? Also how much was it for the complete install on your twin turbo system from Granatelli?

Isnt it true that with a turbo on a stock engine I have to worry more about the internals than I would with a maggie?

You will not have to replace the turbos - I am sure of it We get $1100 foir an install or $1600 for install with custom tune on the camaro. However you can do the install yourself with relative ease |

NO - that is not true at all. Lets say you wanted to limit the rwhp to 550. You could do that with a turbo with less boost and less stres on the crank. That is not to say the Maggie stresses the crank either but there is load created by the Maggie that you would not have with a turbo set up

I have an L99 with a CAI intake, Kooks 1 7/8" LT catted (and coated) headers, a Borla Touring exhaust, and a dynotune. I was a bit disappointed with the results on the dyno of 362 rwhp with these mods. The car is faster than stock (and sounds WAY better), but I want more. I thought the headers would give me more with the tune.
So, I'm looking at getting either a Maggie or a turbocharger. I am a bit leary of adding a cam because I've heard they are very tricky on an automatic. I don't plan to race my car - except for perhaps a fun day at the track, but no serious racing. But, I do want the best and baddest street machine I can get. It is very important to me that my car be absolutely reliable and drivable on the street, but I want my car to be very quick. I really love driving my Camaro and I don't want to do anything to ruin that. - some folks have commented that a cam can sometimes harm drivability. After reading this thread, it sounds like the Maggie is more what I' should be considering, but others have mentioned that a turbocharger might be better. I'm just doing my homework before I jump in. Is it reasonable that I could get 500 rwhp by adding a Maggie to my L99? The other advantage of a Maggie is I think they just look great. - I know, that's shallow, but a lot of the mods on my car have been cosmetic. I am looking into buying a hood with a plexiglass window on it to show off the engine. A chrome Maggie would look sweet! Any comments as to what you folks would recommend for my car would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

Likewise, you already know about our turbo system as well. 500 with the turbo is even easier - Here is an auto trans dyno sheet at low boost. Stock fuel pump with BAP Last edited by Granatelli; 06-30-2010 at 05:50 PM. |
