You are going to have a very difficult time getting a turbo to work properly with a
stock pcm since you can't read boost (1 bar map).
With superchargers, since boost scales vs. rpm, you can typically use existing rpm
enrichment tables to compensate, but with a turbo boost scales vs. load (exhaust
massflow) so you are basically SOL if you can't read it (can have full boost at 2000
rpm or 6000, etc.).
If you are serious about a turbo set up there is tons of potential there - pretty much
whatever your motor can handle you can turbo it to produce - but I would highly
recommend a piggyback EFI system - right now the Speed Pro with wideband
option is by far the best value and performing system.

| To get a Custom PCM that actually works like it should would require hands on
| testing of your vehicle. They would need to determin you fuel consumption, Air
| Fuel Mixture, Boost pressure, type of fuel you are willing to run, etc. How
| much HP are you wanting?
|
| Parts: 2 Turbo's, Custom Pipes, intercooler?, boost controllers?, better fuel
| pump, fuel pressure regulator, heat shields, boost gauge, larger injectors, free
| flow exhaust, custom PCM, premium gas, oil supply for turbo's. I'm sure there
| will be more as you start this project.
|
| Let say's you get all this, will your engine live threw the extra power? What's
| your CR currently? How much power can your drive train handle?
| Just a few things to consider.

| I was thinking I would have to run the 24# injectors on my V6 if I got the twin
| turbo setup like I am currently thinking about. What I am wondering is if the
| fuel management can be handled by a custom burnt PCM?
|
| I am definitely thinking about using twin turbos though. It seems it would be
| easier as far as controlling the exhaust pressure and such since it is a V6 and
| not an inline engine...
|
| And please, if you've got more links, send them my way. I am in the middle of
| moving right now but I will check them all out....
