Does any body know much about the Turbo kits for the GXP? I am thinking about getting a GXP and would like to go turbo with it. I was looking at the Cartuning kit but I really don't see that many people running them. Any reason?

Thanks,
Bill

The reason you dont see many people with turbos is that all you have to do to kill the tranny in a GXP is bolt-ons with drag raidals. Most of us our GXP is our daily driver. Parts alone to upgrade the tranny is $1800 plus labor. $7400+ labor isnt something that most of up would do to our DD. Personally for that money I would buy a 2nd car to be my toy.

If you go over to Ls1Tech.com there is a guy over there who is running a rear mounted Turbo. He has a T70 (Cartuning's is a T67) and less boost than the Cartuning kit for less power because he still has a stock tranny in there.

well... some trans can handle more than stock power better then others. But the GXP's at so close to the factory power rating of the trans stock that even bolt-ons and slicks you better have money saved for a tranny rebuild.
