But he was done with the supercharged set up at that point and the shop that did it for him offered no help. Got an L26, and a Cartuing Turbo kit, kept his XP cam and has gone from there.

Head gaskets are Fel Pro's with ARP head studs. The car is daily driven, and pretty hard.



The Turbo is available from cartuning just like the PT-61 is an upgrade from the smaller turbo for GT's...

Actually, the T-66 was suppsoed to be the new standard but on a stock car it has some lag issues, so some other Turbo's are being looked at.

So its not a "standard" kit then is it?
