Every turbo kit I've ever seen give you WAY more than a 40 percent increase. 40 percent is only a 68 HP increase.
I was taking about a low boost, 7-8psi turbo out of a kit for that, on stock internals, nothing built on the engine. This was comparable to what the superchargers psi's where all listed as, again, on non-build engines. I wasn't talking about a fully-built, bootst to hell turbo. and for a LS, that 68 hp is 200 or so wheel HP, which is EXACTLY what greddy, and the other 7-8psi turbo kits that can be used safely on stock internal engines produce. I know that a good turbo with 15psi, etc, on a built engine, will put out way more.
