It all depends cherry, a variable geometry turbo is just a turbo that changes depending on how your driving. Gives you low end, middle range, and high end power. I'm willing to bet you could get a lot more than 75 horse out of a single turbo if you set it up correctly. I'm fabbing a compression box for the top of my 360 in a few weeks, tubing and other parts are easy to come by. I think the TC I was looking at was only a few hundo. The 360 is known to be able to be turbo'd or SC'd without having to make ANY interior motor mods. That's just another testamet to how tough they made the magnum engines. 7-9 psi shouldn't even stress it. I'd actually be kinda excited to make a new thread about the VGT on the magnum, but it wont go up for at least a few weeks when I start on the box. Could help others do it to their magnums. Would be a fun thread!

Bigpoppa, the video is posted, I think on page 4.

Found this. It's not a VGT, but it's still fun inspiration to do one.

0-60 6.8 seconds. (Movement starts at 0:03 in the video, 60 hits at 0:09.8)
0-90 15 seconds

Continue watching to see the engine inspection, tire inspection, and fun exhaust rev at the end;p

Also, youtube says it's still processing the video, so the quality is ****ty. I think when it's done processing the quality is what I recorded it at, so be patient.
Edit:
Just noticed time stamps are a little off (about .5 secs?) after youtube processed the video. If anyone has a dispute on these video times, I will gladly email you the original quicktime video on my comp.

Cool man, glad you could get that vid up to prove the hatters wrong.

Youtube only jacked it up about .5-1ish sec. Your thinking 11 sec because that's when it hits 60, but I don't start moving or hitting gas until at least 3 secs after the video starts:-) That's where people are getting the 8 seconds from. I have the original version if anyone wants me to email it. Youtube "quality" processing made it screwey. Anyhoot, I'm not running an exhaust. Any muffler just hurts performance. It's straight 3" pipe from cat to the tip. OEM cat. (2 into 1)

I think we all need to just enjoy whatever we can all learn from eachother, and enjoy the forum instead of picking fights between eachother, especially in light of recent events. I think all of us members on this forum need to start respecting eachother much more. If somebody claims something, yeah, we can debate it, maybe challenge a little bit, but I think once somebody proves their point, I think we all need to stop picking fights just to pick fights. This forum is for us all to learn, and to enjoy seeing other peoples rides as well. I think this thread could turn into a very constructive thread if people will just get over themselves and listen.

With that said, 90% of this thread, is quite amusing when you really think about it lol.

I didn't know if you were talking to ME, or the person(s) who jumped on my post and turned it in to some sort of conspiracy theory lol.
