I want to go turboed

So, I've been doing some thinking and have been wanting more power so I figure I'll go ahead and go turboed. At first I was thinking of getting the zzp stg3 kit, and I was thinking about it and I already have the lsj intercooling system so I should just build off that. So I figure I get this kit instead

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

With that I would just need to buy the piping, bov, and a boost controller. The bov and boost controller I'm buying from zdeuce4, as for the piping I could get that done at a local shop. I would also need the lsj sc delete kit, and use the LS4 throttle body that I bought for the supercharger setup.

What do yall think? Is this a good route? Am I missing something? I'm still noobish when it comes to turbo kits.

I figure 8-10psi for now, and after I rebuild the tranny crank it up to 14psi.. I guess I could stick with the lsj tb for now.

if i were u i would talk to ryan or matt at zzp and tell them what you have and what your plans are and they could piece you out what you need. There were a few guys on here that did that. Just tell them about all of ur lsj cooling and stuff and they should be able to help u out. But to me yes it seems like ur idea would work.

I have a supercharger delete sitting in a display window lol. A few redlines that did the delete said they had a flat spot in power like the manifold was choking the air flow. Most just jump to a aftermarket manifold and call it good. Hell do twincharge and then you will be good lol.

i been back and forth looking at zzp SC kit and turbo kit. the turbo should pull more torque with same HP as the SC kit. so why does most ppl go SC?

In my mind it seems as the S/C is easier to install. Also gives a nice increase in power, but not to the point that you need to start working on your internals.
