That's it I can't take this **** anymore. Apparantly the Z is a rice burner now.

First people want a rev limiter on their automatic Z, then people want a great navigation HU for $300 and now people want a turbo for $1k.

I give up...

I am willing to pay a $1, 000 for an Auto-Ban feature that gets rid of dumb people like you with stunning efficiency. ..

When i had to send my vortech off to get reworked I bought just a cheap ebay intake. Friggin couplers were junk and so was the filter. Red couplers faded to pink, stretched and were no where near the quality of my vortech/now greddy couplers.

1500 for the godspeed kit on ebay.........it has to be pure junk!

I'm not trying to be a dick here…I know it comes off that way…

OP, If your budget is $1500 look into a test-pipe, exhaust, intake, plenum upgrade route - turbo/superchargers are expensive from the gate, when you start adding in the supporting mods you'll need it's really expensive.

If you really want a turbo/sc, look into buying a used setup and get the blowers rebuilt before you put it on your car…because if you think a turbo kit is expensive, the cost to rebuild your engine bc you did it wrong is going to be REALLY expensive(not to mention fixing the dicked-up turbo that caused the failure)…
