Turbo
Is it possible to add a turbo to an SSEi?
I don't nearly have enough money but it would be good to know.
Specifically I was looking at this one :

Yes.
Block off plate for the supercharger is usually the route as pictured here.
Basically your */C is gutted and used as a UIM.
I do beleive some people have done both the */C AND turbo where the */C provided boost until the turbo was spooled up, but I don't think this configuration is done too often.

You can double that cost in the link for a built transmission to take the power. As the old saying goes you're only as strong as your weakest link.

you get the SC to so many RPMS then the turbo at higher RPMS. do a serach for
twin charging or twin charged. t
its been done. this is an interesting car, sunfire with this setup, not a 3.8L but might be a good read. there are differing opinions on the set up.

Holy **** 
So it goes from the turbo to the supercharger?
I'm guessing this has never been done on a Bonneville then.
How much do you think that would all cost haha?

I can safely bet a setup like this, with tuning costs, will cost way more than the Bonneville is worth...
