3800 Performance is very excited to introduce the Cartuning Performance 3800 Turbo Kit, the first turbo kit on the market for the 3800 powered vehicles. These kits are now shipping for
TEN DIFFERENT MODEL TRIMS!! The Cartuning Performance 3800 Turbo Kits are offered for several naturally-aspirated 3800 L36 vehicles AND 3800 L67 supercharged vehicles with our Conversion Kit which allows the turbo kit to adapt to the supercharged motor (more details below). We have also just recently added the option for Cartuning Performance's Air-to-Air Intercooler Kit (more details below)!
The Cartuning Performance 3800 Turbo Kit has been in the works for the past 18 months, being extensively researched, developed, tested, and tuned. This kit wasn't just thrown together, and it shows! The kits come COMPLETE with everything needed, with expected installation time of less than 6 hours. The vehicle does not get modified in any way that does not allow it to go back to completely stock. All factory parts remain perfectly in tact with no cutting or modifications to the drivetrain or exhaust!
Now what everyone is wanting to know... on a
completely stock L36 vehicle (which makes 160 HP on the dyno, 200 HP to the crank), the Cartuning Performance Stage 1 Turbo Kit makes 280 HP
to the wheels and over 300 lb-ft of torque
to the wheels. That is 350 HP to the crank, which is a 150 HP gain over stock!! How's that for one day's worth of work? The Stage 1 Kit is completely streetable, and is suitable for customers that want to bolt-on a turbo kit to a stock L36 vehicle that has little to no modifications and wants an exciting daily driver without having to modify it for months and months (sometime years!) only to get minimal performance gains. The Stage 1's turbo is good for up to 425 crank HP with additional supportive mods.
This is only the beginning though... - For those needing more, you can upgrade the Stage 1 turbo to a custom-built Precision Turbo unit, which is capable of producing up to 700 crank HP!!
- A Stage 2 Kit is also being developed, for those customers that want to take their vehicles much further in the future, or that already have numerous mods that support more breathing. The stage 2 is currently

The CT kit is pretty old, and I've heard there were some issues w/ it on cgp.
Personally I'd rather go with a zzp Z7 or stattama turbo kit myself.

I think it's a member that wants the best performing,
and most powerful Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
on the roads of the KeyStone State.
A man dedicated to getting the most that he can
from a 3.8L.
I think his name is `Keegan
I look forward to reading about his progress to perfection.
To seeing your awesome Monte runn'in in the 12's, 11's,
and maybe in2 to 10 second bracket : ) WoW
I envy his project, but I wish him the best.
Good Luck `Keegan, in reaching your goals.

Please post what issue's that you've heard about on the CT Kit ?
Also, please let us know why you would go with
ZZP Z7 or the Stattama Kit ?
The more we know, the better we can choose/select
the best product for the Monte Carlo : )
Thanks, `Space

It's not necessarily the prodcut that is the issue. It's the support that clients demand of the owner once they receive the kit, and have a million and 1 questions about how to put it together.
If you're a shadetree mechanic, you'll have no issues putting the kit together. Kevin (the owner) of Cartuning does amazing work for the local guys in my area, since they're local, and he installs the kit for them, and tunes it.
I've personally ran against a GTP with a intercooled and alky injected CT kit, stock motor (stock cam, stock rockers), stock manifolds, and he ran the same time as me, but was doing 8mph faster at the trap. He was doing 118mph to my 110. The only reason he didn't run a better time was because of the launch. He was on street tires, whereas I won't go to the track anymore without slicks.
Very good product, but be sure you know what you're doing when you put it together, and/or tune it yourself afterwards. The owner is running the show pretty much by himself, so there's not alot of ability to support clients 24/7 and hand hold them through the installation and troubleshooting. They're buying the product, not the support IMHO.
So, that would explain why people in the US are miffed about the "product" they got.
As for ZZP or Stattama's kits, I have heard great things about them. To me, a turbo is a turbo... slap it on, make sure it's tight and tuned, and strap yourself down for the ride, because you're going places... FAST.

Hi `Rob, thanks for your post reply. I really appreciate
your answers. I just believe that the more a person can learn about
induction systems, the better that they will be at a selecting what
is best for them, and also what company will give them service
after the sale.
I've learned a lot on the MCF from the membership.
Thanks for being a super contributing member.

How Turbochargers Work 
(For Member's like `Space, who want
to know how things work : )
by
Karim Nice Inside This Article 1. Introduction to How Turbochargers Work 2. Inside a Turbocharger 3. Design Considerations 4. More Design Considerations 5. Lots More Information 6. See all Engine Performance articles When people talk about race cars or high-performance sports cars, the topic of turbochargers usually comes up. Turbochargers also appear on large diesel engines. A turbo can significantly boost an engine's horsepower without significantly increasing its weight, which is the huge benefit that makes turbos so popular! In this article, we'll learn how a turbocharger increases the power output of an engine while surviving extreme operating conditions. We'll also learn how wastegates, ceramic turbine blades and ball bearings help turbochargers do their job even better. Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system. They compress the air flowing into the engine (see How Car Engines Work for a description of airflow in a normal engine). The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. This can significantly improve the power-to-weight ratio for the engine (see How Horsepower Works for details). In order to achieve this boost, the turbocharger uses the exhaust flow from the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn spins an air pump. The turbine in the turbocharger spins at speeds of up to 150,000 rotations per minute (rpm) -- that's about 30 times faster than most car engines can go. And since it is hooked up to the exhaust, the temperatures in the turbine are also very high.
The Basics
One of the surest ways to get more power out of an engine is to increase the amount of air and fuel that it can burn. One way to do this is to add cylinders or make the current cylinders bigger. Sometimes these changes may not be feasible -- a turbo can be a simpler, more compact way to add power, especially for an aftermarket accessory.

Have you guys seen that AT&T Broadband commercial?
"Hey Gus, how fast is your new AT&T Broadband?"
Gus puts the train full throttle, people are experiencing extreme g-force, guys fake hair falls off...
"About that fast."
That's what a SC and TC car feels like. (I can imagine...I don't know.
