if you do go turbo...id say stay away from the remote mount one...i think thats the one that mounts at the rear of the vehicle?

yea, we have an 04 gto at school and (this is before i went there, i only saw the after effects) they installed a rear mount turbo system. its pretty cool how the boost controller was right under the rear bumper...but anyways...from the baseline on the gto to the turbo installed...they made less horsepower with the turbo on there. then they figured it wasnt enough boost, so they began turning that up, and melted a ring to a cylinder wall.

granted, some computer tuning and what not probably wouldve helped, but after i saw all this, saw the location of the turbo and all that...i dont like it.

id agree that an ATI procharger is the way to go.
