Turbo Kit for Pontiac Firebird (1982-1992) 5.0L 5.7L

Complete twin-turbo intercooled package for the Pontiac Firebird (1982–1992) with small-block V8s (5.0L / 5.7L typical). It pairs two stainless tubular manifolds with two T3/T4 hybrid turbos, dual internal wastegates, a front-mount intercooler, dual oiling kits, oil cooler, boost controller, dual blow-off valves, turbo timer and fuel-system parts in one box. Most installs keep A/C and power steering, and it works with manual or automatic transmissions when the engine matches. On a stock motor, plan on a low-boost street tune around 8–10 psi. Big twin HP numbers are a hardware ceiling with a built engine and supporting mods, not a dyno result for a stock F-body.

Why this kit

• 321 stainless tubular manifolds with 1-5/8" primaries and support brackets
• Dual internal wastegates, dual oiling kits, oil cooler and front-mount intercooler
• Boost controller, dual blow-off valves, turbo timer and fuel regulator included

Package Includes

• (2) T3/T4 hybrid turbochargers with oil fitting gaskets and mounting studs
• (2) TIG-welded 321 stainless tubular turbo manifolds, 1-5/8" primaries, ported and polished, with support brackets and T3 flanges
• (1) Front-mount aluminum intercooler
• (1) Aluminum intercooler piping kit: (2) 2.5" straight pipes, (2) 90°, (2) 60°, (2) 45° bends, (2) 2.5" 90° silicone couplers, (6) 2.5" straight silicone couplers, (16) stainless worm-gear clamps
• (2) Turbo oil line kits: 77" feed lines, 18" 5/8" high-temp 550 psi returns, T fittings, gaskets and hardware
• (1) Oil cooler kit
• (2) Internal wastegate kits with flanges and clamps (v-band downpipe style, starts ~8 psi)
• (1) Manual boost controller with install kit
• (2) Blow-off valve kits with install kits
• (1) Slim reversible cooling fan
• (1) Electronic turbo timer with LED display and wiring
• (1) Adjustable fuel pressure regulator with gauge
• (1) Billet aluminum high-flow fuel filter, -6AN fittings
• (1) Oil catch can with install kit
• (1) Coolant sensor bung, 38 mm

Turbocharger Specs

• Type: T3/T4 hybrid each, wet-float bearings, balanced
• Compressor: .57 trim wheel, .50 A/R housing, 3" inlet, 2" outlet
• Turbine: .63 A/R housing, T3 inlet flange
• Oil inlet: 1/8" NPT
• About +power at 8–10 psi on a healthy stock motor with a proper tune; hardware ceiling over 450 hp per turbo (kit marketing cites twin potential well beyond 750 hp) with a built engine and supporting mods — not a stock-car dyno result

Exact Fitment — Pontiac Firebird

• 1982–1992 Pontiac Firebird with small-block V8 (common 5.0L / 5.7L; also used on other SBC displacements with matching heads)
• One Make per listing — this product is Pontiac only
• Not for 1993+ LT1 F-bodies — those have their own listing
• Chassis-specific downpipes and exhaust beyond the turbo flanges are not included
• Intercooler piping is universal and needs cutting and fitting per chassis

Not Included

• Chassis-specific downpipes and exhaust beyond the turbo flanges
• Larger injectors, fuel pump and ECU tune (required)
• Clutch upgrade, boost gauge and wideband
• Oil-pan return bung if your setup needs one

Installation Notes

• Professional installation strongly recommended. Expect cutting and fitting of the universal piping
• The manifolds are stainless tubular with welded support brackets
• Oil return must drain by gravity on both turbos; prime each turbo with oil before first start and check for leaks
• Blow-off valve flanges are installed at your discretion
• Keep boost near 8–10 psi until fuel and tune are upgraded, and let the turbo timer handle cool-down

FAQs

Does this fit a 1993–1997 LT1? No. This listing is 1982–1992 small-block only. LT1 cars have a separate kit.

How much power will it make? A healthy stock engine at about 8–10 psi with a proper tune is the street baseline. Twin hardware can support far more with a built engine and full supporting mods.

Can I keep A/C and power steering? Most installs keep both; confirm clearance during mock-up.

Manual or automatic? Fits either when the engine matches.

Is it plug-and-play? No. You still need injectors, a fuel pump, an ECU tune, downpipes and some pipe fitting.
