Question Turbo Chargers

Why do we not hear anything about turbo charger conversions on the LS2?

Wild guess

It might have to do with the heat increase of the Intake Air and the Can of worms you would open having to figure out making an Inter Cooler for the Small Space in Radiator Area of the SSR. Just a S.W.A.G on my part. I Know of no Valid Reason. Surely some of the Tech. People can enlighten us on this.

I don't know about your SSR, MR TURBINE . . .

But my SSR has more than enough "ticket power" to get and keep me in trouble.

WHY MESS WITH PERFECTION?

Plumbing is the main reason you're not hearing much about it. Do a search on the upper right of your screen and you'll see a number of old Threads/Posts on the subject

Someone has done it (do a search on the forum) but it is a very tight fit and would probably have heat issues. the Mag is just an easier option for most.
