Where to find a turbocharger kit for an 03' GT


Hello, I'm new to this forum. It looks like you all know a little something so here's one for you all. I have been searching for a turbocharger kit for my 03' GT (Auto) and am having a hell of a time finding a site that offeres a complete kit (Turbonetics has one for the 05-07 models, but not for the 04 and later models). Does anybody have any suggestions for me while I pile up and save???

Turbo Mods 03' GT


Thanks for the info on the turbos guys. Thinking of going with the twin turbo kit very soon. $saving up$

I was also wondering if anyone could tell me if there are any good deals on forged bottom end kits (pistons,connecting rods,mains) for a 03' gt. Are bottom end mods necessary with a turbo kit running 12-15psi max??

How much power can a stock modular block take??

HP is one of the best distributors of Garrett turbos I know of. They helped me with alot of the gray areas of building my car. I would highly recommend them. I got all my parts within 9 weeks of the order date and the reason it took so long is because they have to send the tubing and compressor housings to Jet-Hot to get coated and then Jet-Hot will send them to you.

trust me on this one....go with HP!

I got the stage 3 (67mm) and the car should be finished in a month or so. I'm gonna post some videos and pics when the car is done along with progress pics from Bridge Racing.

Within the next week or so, you can go to http://www.bridgeracing.com and look for a black 2003 GT. They told me they will put up pics as they get closer to finishing the car.

Sweet. I'll be looking forward to vids and pics. Hopefully I'll have my system in by next year $$$. I want to get forged internals and a better cam before adding the turbo system I want.

I'm still debating whether to go with a twin turbo (twin stage 2 garrets(57mm)) or a single (stage 3 turbonetics (size???)). Do you suggest one vs. the other?

Whats the difference between running a huge single vs. two smaller turbos.? I've heard that it effects low-end/high-end torque. Whats is the difference?

a single larger turbo takes a little longer to spool up and get into boost

two twin turbos have are a little more effective down low and produce incredible numbers throughout the entire range

also bigger turbos can create massive amounts of boost. like 25-30+lbs
