NY 12A Turbo Build

This project started on February 7th 2012. We decided to stay with stock ports, brand new Goopy apex seals, solid corner seals, and stock 12A Seals. We are fitting a 4.77 lsd differential, Holset turbo ect. The goal is an everyday driver 11 sec First Gen. I will post pics and information as they come in.

11 second 12a on stockport ? gonna need a decent size turbo. you'll need roughly 350 to the wheels.

My opinion.....pre turbo water injection, and youll safely, reliably have it.

you can run a 11 easy with a stock s4 or s5 turbo on a 12A.
you can do it with 300hp.

300 wheel on a stock s4 or s5.... if you can get it.. it would be pushing the turbos limits.
