umm your gst should be running between 9-12 psi stock if im not mistaken.... it varies... get a boost gauge set up and then you will know for sure what your starting out at

 

there are two types of forced induction...superchargers and turbochargers...

superchargers look like this and are driven as a part of the vehicles belt drive accessory system:

in red is the belt that drives the supercharger itself, and it is mounted directly on top of the engine..(this is just one type of supercharger)

turbochargers look like this,

the exhaust enters the turbocharger at point A, which is mounted on the exhaust manifold and spins the turbine in the middle of point B. as the air spins the turbine it exits via point C. the air is compressed sucked in through the opening where the B is, and is compressed and sent through tube D...through the intercooler "E", then through the other tube, into the throttle body, which is F, into the engine.

im sure that i missed a bunch of stuff, but this is a very loose definition of how the two types of forced inductin work. hope it helps.

 

9-12 psi stock? Sounds good to me. I thought I heard they run lower than that, but that's cool. nobody can tell me how to remove the boost restrictor though? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

 

here is how you remove the restrictor http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=185405 let me know how much of an increase you get

 

where would you find a bigger turbin'ed turbo??? and how much would an exhaust turbo cost and how much boost would you get out of it???

 

All turbo's are exaust turbos, except for the vortech like superchargers, which run off belts.

It depends on the turbo. Turbos are like tires, there are many different kinds and sizes. You can go with a big turbo and have a really high psi but alot of boost lag, you could go with a small turbo and get an instant spool but stay at a fairly low psi. It all depends on price be expected to pay 200 all the way up to 1g or so.

 

thanks for the link 99clipsgst. i really appreciate it!

 

well i've been looking at a HAHN stage 2 kit. which is around 3000. but i don't know the first thing to look for when picking out a kit, i only went by what people on here have been saying, the local perfomance shopt said to go w/ a STAR kit. but i duno.

 

you do understand that you have to beef up the engine itself right?

 

no please, learn me lol
