Kudos Todd, Stephen et. al.- you guys have really come into your own, and it's been fun to watch. You guys are VERY deserving of your success, and I hope you have many, many years of it!
That said, didn't someone do a turbo conversion on a GT3 or cup car only to have the car get T-Boned at the track at its first outing? I imagine that the turbo conversion would be easier on the race car than on the street-legal one.

Do you have any more specific info on this? Maybe the race/race group or track where and when this might have happened?

just curious why do this turbochrage the gt3 motor why not get the gt2 motor and modify that it wold be simplier and more logical to do this, by turbocharging the gt3 motor your changing the total chracteristics of the "na" motor...
it is a cool thing to do... but just wondeirng why?? im a big turbo fan but imho i think the gt3 motors hould be left alone...
As for the turbo motors, and gt2 motors... they need to be modded hehehe

Very true. Special rods and cam selections is the key for success.
CJV,
What's your thought on the parts listed for this project.
