So i am curious as to why no one has done a turbo conversion on the sl55?

Also i heard something to the effect that the sl55 supercharger is only capable of pushing out 3# boost. Something like the engine bleeds off the boost at a higher level.? Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I'll try to be as straightforward as possible.

#1) Cost/Time. People can get their 55s into the 10s without turbos.

#2) Completely, utterly, false. Refer to #1.

any links to builds that got 10s? Having priced out the parts that are currently available i havent seen anyone getting into the 10's on a 55 and the upgrades that are out there come in roughly around $40k.

To my knowledge everyone offers the same size upgraded pulley for the SC. Other than that increasing the cooling efficiency and adding nitrous are the only other bolt on mods that I see being done.

so is that it? none of the tuners have any input?

Try emailing Cory @ Kleeman or Evosport (not sure contact there)directly...Cory has always responded to me in a timely manner so I am sure he could give you insight. Kleeman will probably be the easiest to contact along with Evosport.

Anything is possible. The tune would be difficult, but doable. The real problem is space, and of course $$$. This kind of project would easily run into the $10k range.
