I'm looking in to doing a turbo upgrade on my ss but don't have a clue of which ones are good and not good but not trying to spend an arm and a leg I saw one on zzp the LNF put they wanted 1,900 any idea's

 

You could just do a tune, HPTuners or Trifecta. I'm sure others will chime in who have done it, I'm still stock for now, until I get my cylinder #4 problem fixed, then I'll probably go Trifecta.

 

Yea i am gonna go with trifecta I think I got some bolt on's coming down pipe charging pipe BOV and 3 inch cat back exhaust but I don't know if it will really make that much of a diffrents that's why I was looking in to a turbo upgrade

 

So did you find a fix for the issues you were having? If so, you should update your other thread. If not, maybe once those issues are resolved, your bolt-ons and Trifecta tune may satisfy your need for speed.

 

Yea it was a sensor that was going out easy fix

 

Just curious, how much is a Trifecta tune?

 

It is like 600

 

That being the case I would get HPTuners std version and do it yourself, you would be money ahead.

 

There are people that will do a "remote tune". Basically they create a base tune based on your modes with HPtuners, and email it to you. You load it up with your laptop and away you go. You drive around logging data for a few days, then send in the data. The tuner either tells you you're good, or makes adjustments and sends a retune. Depending on mods and how agressive you want your tune, these run anywhere from $250-400.

HP is the best for power. I've heard both good and bad on Trifecta(customer service is a lot of the problem), and not usually more than 300whp. Had a friend that made 304whp on a slipping clutch with no mods but a catless downpipe. GMTU is good if you are still under warranty, but it is a very conservative tune.

 

Trifecta does the same. When I tuned my LT I emailed CJ (RIP) what mods I did, he created the tune, emailed me the file, I installed it with him over the phone, sent him the data log to make sure it was okay and was good to go. Cost around $300. The SS tune may be different, I'm not sure - and hopefully we get another Trifecta tuner as knowledgeable and helpful as CJ.
