do you mean supporting mods?
If you do, all that I can think of is maybe a high flow cat and a tune up. Its made to work on a stock car, so the 180 tstat might not be necessary.
If you want to make the most out of it, get a turbo cam or 1.9 rockers so you can up the redline.

I think what he means is will the turbo do damage to his perfectly running car. If you keep it at the stock boost levels [probably 6PSI] then all will be well. Your transmission might be another story though.
Having a Supercharger AND a Turbo is pretty much pointless. If both are running at the same PSI, I really doubt having both could yield much more HP.. if anything lose HP because the SC may restrict turbo flow.

the turbo is much more efficient than a SC will ever be, so its better to take the SC off and put on a turbo with intercooler. Then you will be looking at 400hp and little to nothing in knock with about $5000

Sounds great! Thing is I am looking at getting another Pontiac pretty soon and with this turbo kit and all the Grand Prix has kinda caught my eyes. I have always wanted to have a project car that was actually worth working on and one that had a good aftermarket and hopefully my dreams can finally come true.

The GTP is easier to mod, but a GT would be cheaper and it would allow you to add a turbo.
The only problems with the GT are that the tranny is probably not strong enough and the bottom end might not be strong enough.

You can add a turbo to an L67 easily. You basically use your blower casing as an intake manifold.
If I got that kit, I would have a colder t-stat.
Besides compression ratios, the bottom end is the exact same. The 10 sec ZZP car uses a GT bottom end (I think). It can handle a LOT of power.
