I know a few guys from the RL Forums www.redlineforums.com have done it. I would suggest going there and search for threads by djt81185, and Witt, there is someone else that i'm missing. I think he might have a thread on this site even... I'll update this post shortly with another SN.

*Edit: I was thinking of Victory_Red_SS who is not only going twin turbo, but RWD. He might be able to provide some insite. But I know there are already threads on RLF specifically related to turbos. Granted, the site overall has gone to the shitter, but there is still some useful info on there.

I need help designing a turbo system for my cobalt, I already started a thread in off topics, but this seems like the more logical place to have one. I'm an aluminum welder/fabricator so I want to try to make my own intercooler, intake lines,etc....Any info on good turbos,fuel systemsetc...

really the only stuff you need to concern yourself with is piping, then the turbo exhaust manifold
once you have those two things, it's cake.

Minus that whole big tuning thing... that gets in the way later after your fab part is done.

other than having a minimum of 10 posts is there any other prerequisites before I can download files? I'd really like to see maximum boost by corky bell

nope. well i guess there's about a max of an hour wait time after your 10th post for the site to run it's promo process. could be instant, could be an hour wait. depends on when your last post gets logged and when the promo ran last.

Any chance of locking those type of things until they get at least 1-2 rep points from someone? You can set the post limit higher to show that their not just here for the DLs, and if they make some valuable posts then we can negate the post limit and open DLing to them.

I do cause I've been bored lately. Don't post much, just read. Not enough action on this site sometimes.

True. I actually just went over there for some good laughs. I heart the kills section sometimes.

LOL, we may have been reading the same thread. The one with the redline and the BMW up to 160mph.

No, I didn't read that one. I read the one of a RL vs. an LS1 T/A that italianjoe commented on, then got flamed hardcore...so many flamers over there.
