Here is the PLAN. I will be sending a GXP Turbocharger(GM KO4) to BTFRacing, this Stock turbocharger will get the new upgraded wheel and it will also be Swain Tech. Once BTFRacing is finish with it, the upgraded turbocharger will be offer for a period of 15 days, to each Supporting tuner Vendor on the forum. Starting with PCMForless if AlvinBryan want to take advantage of this offer and ALL others. They can have the upgraded turbocharger and for 15 days they can develop tunes for our 2.0 LNF motor. I would like for them to develop tunes 1st using ALL stock hardware except for the Upgraded turbo of course, then they can add what ever extra components they would like to certify with their tune. Next PCMForless will send the Upgraded Turbocharger to GMRoadster (Martin) and the same scenario of 15 days etc. From there I would like for Dejon (Dave) using Lyndon's Westers tune and his Dejon IC to incorporate the BTF Turbo upgrade with this tune and any additional pieces they would want to test and offer to the membership. I will also make the offer to Lyndon if he feels the need to test it in his own facilities in Canada. I would also like to have Vector Motor Sports another of our Tuner Vendors participate, however they will need a couple of cars to be able to incorporate their tune with BTF Turbo upgraded wheel. Finally I would like to challenge Hahn from Hahn Racecraft to send his IC with the BTF Turbocharger upgraded wheel, so those members that would like to have his IC, the tuners can also offer this combination. I also do not want to leave RPI out of the equation, so if they would like to participate on this PLAN they are also welcome to have the BTF Turbo upgraded wheel turbocharger. After ALL Tuners that want to take advantage of this PLAN are done, then the last one will return the Turbocharger back to BTFRacing for inspection and then finally back to me. I truly hope that ALL the above mentioned Supporting vendors take advantage of this plan. I am using the 15 days or 2 weeks for each tuner so they have ample time to develop tunes for different years(07/08/09) and also 5 speed vs automatic. If they feel 15 days is not long enough we need to come up with a reasonable time table so, tunes can start been offer to our membership ASAP. My expectations are that after this is done we will have tunes that will give our cars the stock power of a LS1(350 BHP), LS2(400 BHP) and the LS3 (430 BHP). Thank you. PS: BTF the turbocharger is been FDX to me this coming Monday, once I have it I will then ship it to you, for the Upgrade of the Wheel and also the Swain Tech coating.

Any updates??

Hey LV...
How has your "PLAN" worked out with the named tuners???? Any results to posts.... sure want to get "Patty" a tune when the right one comes out with my installed mods...I am also wanting to change out my turbo or upgrade it as you did.

Thanks in advance.

It never went any where because 1st PCMForless had bad weather (Winter months) then went to GM Roadster in Arizona and he did not have a chance to do a tune either.
So it was returned to me and DDM put it in my car using the Orlando tune they did for BLACKGXP, though modified for my manual transmission.
If you want the turbo to look stock but have a much better flow and get 23 psi with not to much effort, the upgraded turbo wheel gives you that pretty easy.
There are at least 2 other members that have the upgraded turbo wheel install, they are BlackGXP and DirtyMike.
Maybe they will comment on their experience with this mod.

It's all about your goals....and how much you value your factory warranty... With GM under the gun so to speak they are really looking at every warranty claim made for damage to engines. If you swap the wheel this will not be noticeable just by looking at the turbo but GM could ask the dealership to inspect the turbo they will clearly see the MOD and if you swap the turbo all together....well thats a no brainier... The Warranty is gone.

Now if you simply want to be able to produce 23psi of boost all the way to redline then the BTF Wheel is the way to go... Now if you really want to get into the serious HP number like one of our Test Cars here in AZ making 413 Wheel HP...then you'll need to swap the turbo. Yes thats correct, we have a 2008 Turbo LNF Cobalt with a turbo swap that is making 413 Wheel HP! We need to swap the clutch on this car because it's fading quickly...

Thanks,
