what are some turbochargers for a 2002 GLE auto?? and where can i get em. thanks

 

there are tons of turbo's you can get for that car but there are no kits, if that's what you are thinking of. a good turbo would be a t3/t4 or possibly a strait t4 since that has the 3.5 engine. garrett is one of the most known companies for turbos so i'd look at some of theirs.

 

Turbonetics all the way . Its from experience. ^_^. Anyway if u want ur car turboed let me know. Email me qnpark8282@yahoo.com. email me if ur serious.

 

i actually haven't had good experience with turbonetics. my wastegate screwed up once when i hooked up the vacuum part of the wastegate according to turbonetics instructions and it caused my car to boost to 15 psi... which on my untuned, non aftercooled setup was very, very dangerous. i'm surprised i didn't blow something. i've also heard that the deltagate mk III (the one i have or mk II... i can't remember) was notorious for seizing up due to carbon build up. i'm not sure if it usually seizes open or closed but i would hope that it would seize open so i don't have insane amount of boost and ruin my engine.

also, a friend of mine bought a brand new turbonetics turbocharger once and took it apart to find food sitting in one of the housing... now he always says they put them together on their lunch break

 

Forced Performance, they make their own turbo's and they are simply awesome. A turbo, everything hooked up, and dyno tuned would cost you about 5,000. Their welders are awesome and everything is top quality. They are located in Mckinney TX.

 

whats aftercooled??? whens that happen in the process???

 

We are developing a kit for the 2002 3.5 auto and 6 speed. www.ssr-engineering.com

 

well i plan on buying a turbo what all do i really need ot get it running just at like 4-6psi with out messing up the engine i would like to get more power but i have to wait till this summer to get more or should i just wait thanks

 

aftercooler is the correct term for the things we use to cool the air charge coming from the turbo. it is called that because it cools the air after it is compressed.

 

Turbo'd GLE

 

sadler has a turbo GLE

 

isnt it intercooler . confused. isnt aftercooler something vortech made for vortech scuperchargers, because some sc kits dont have a intercooler as an option. ex. stillen sc. for the max.

 

It's just a matter of word usage. The term intercooler is only used in the correct context when air is compressed then cooled, only to be compressed again. I.E. turbojet aircraft engine. If the charge air is cooled after compression, then the correct term is aftercooler, as mtcookson already stated.

 

I'd find a very good shop to do the custom fab. The turbo itself is only a very small part of the equation. I'd do some more research to see everything involved, it's a lot, a lot of things you don't think about at first are involved. Or just buy a prepackaged turbo setup like PFI's. Even then, it's not totally plug and play.

 

And for God's sake, upgrade the tranny before doing too much boost

 

If you don't know that there is no difference between the powertrain of a GLE, GXE, and SE you need to do soem more reasearch.
