I've been out of the 3800 game for quite awhile, we all know that...and even when I had my old car, the turbo options were just coming out of its infancy...there was basically a cartuning setup, whatever Intense was offering or ZZP (did they even have a setup when i was running the whipple?)..
now it seems like your main option is source everything yourself, find a used CT kit or go thru zzp.
my question is: is it better to just pick up a complete zzp setup (either z7 or stattama / used or new), used CT kit or is it more economical to pick up the hard parts from the z7 kit then source your own turbo and front mount...
whats left beyond that? ive already got injectors and a pump which would get me by for awhile, unless i changed up my fueling to e85, but im not really looking at that option yet. theres the obvious need for a trans but its a necessary evil no matter what i do w/ the car.
i should, in theory, just be able toss on the turbo parts and go to town.
im being vague in my requests, mostly b/c im already knowledgeable on the subject and b/c its been talked about before...but since everyone else has their own build thread, id like to start collecting my thoughts in one spot as well.
as for my current parts...perhaps they'll find their way onto another car in my garage :naughty:
