I just Bought Sweetege's GSL-SE.

I am going to return most of the interior to former glory and keep it as a streetable car, I can take down to the track for autoX/Drag once a month or so.

I thought I'd ask what you think I should do next to it performance-wise.

I am saving dough for a Garrett GT35 Kit but that'll be a few months out.

I am thinking I'll need to upgrade the fuel pump first-ish??

If you only want 300HP, then go with the GT30R and not the 35. The 35R is more suited to the 350HP to 400HP range.

Keep in mind that turbocharging a GSL-SE 6 port is not bolt on. There is no kit that exists.

 

thanks. off to welding class I go.

 

Actually maybe it's best to enjoy the car as it is for a bit. It's interesting there isnt a bolt on kit for 1st gens. seems like it would sell like hotcakes.

 

I'd be happy to make such a kit, but few would pay for it. A full bolt on kit will probably cost significantly more then most people paid for their cars.

 

what would be a ball park price for a kit?

 

$4500.
