well found some one that can make and install the turbos . . . but the only thing is that they charge 4 g . . i think thats a decent price for the whole kit .. just don't have the money right now .. so im just spending money on all the small things . . all my o2 sensors are bad . . i replace the ones in the back . .they were easy . . but how the **** do i get the one behind the intake >?? frustrating
oh my engine only has 24 k miles on it . . its rebuilt ! . .

Why does the oil leak matter? You have to completely build the motor to handle the twin turbos. You should replace EVERYTHING in the motor. I can not think of a single part that GM sells that should be in the motor except the blocks and the heads. THe factory piston, rings are crap, Headgasket will need to be the best on the market. The rod and main bolts are crap or I should say inconsistant. The compression of the motor is all wrong for turbos and the Cam profile is wrong. A single turbo, if run too hard will blow a stock motor aparts infact the hardest part of installing a turbo on 3.8 is keeping from blowning the motor.

Your motor 200 HP stock. Some people blow these when they are stock. If you are lucky the motor will still be dependable to 280 HP. Anymore and you are building a granade.

FYI. Oil in the Sparkplug hole is normally from the valve cover.

I believe that the OP already found a new path when he found out what it would cost for someone to try and attempt it. We really should have a section where all of the

twin turbo
turbo
supercharger
I NEED 500HP and also it to be a good daily driver

threads should go so it's easy for newbs to search and then follow up on how many of those "projects" ever really happen.
