Default Turbo options w/ aftermarket headers?

I was wondering if their were any turbo options for someone that had already done headers with an ORY and full 3" exhaust. Will I have to waste money on the upgrades I already have to do a turbo, or is what I have compatible with any type of turbo system without changing my pacesetter headers?

Yep. The headers and 3" pipes will cause you to loose a lot of spooling time but you can keep them it you want to.

I ran my best time of 11.35 with LT headers ORY and 3 inch exhaust. Nothing was wrapped either.

I didn't say it would be slower at the track or make less power, cuz you can brake stalling it into boost right? I said he will loose spool time, mostly noticeable on the street. My peak power and track times where pretty close going from rear mount to front mount, but the spool time on the street was MUCH faster with the front mount.

I understand. I was just letting richierich know that his setup can still produce some nice results. Besides, you know as well as I do that lag is a good thing sometimes on the street.

So where is the best deal money wise on a rear mount turbo? And what does installation consist of?
