It is with great pleasure that we introduce our latest project. Bradan has been commissioned to build a twin turbo conversion for a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo SE. The goal of this project is to reliably increase the engines power output to 750-800 all wheel horsepower using 93 octane fuel. The engine will be rebuilt and reinforced internally to handle the increased boost pressure. A turbo system will be designed and engineered to build power in a similar fashion to the OEM power curve. The full process will be documented step by step to show what is involved in such a project and show our capabilities. We hope you enjoy watching the process during this winter.

For this build, we researched to find the best turbo to work in our desired power, boost, and quality of power delivery. We are using a Garret GT ball bearing turbo with an internal wastegate. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Wow your work is first class!!! I'm thinking of having the ex Missy Elliot diablo twin turbo charged.
3D laser scanning the engine bay and turbo components. This will help in engineering the turbo system.

Excuse my ignorance, disconnecting the AWD system is all it takes to make it a rear wheel drive car, or is there other things that need to be removed?
Definetely plenty of Twin Turbo options out there for Gallardo's: Heffner, Doug Levin, SP Engineering, Underground racing, and 3-4 more companies I cant recall off the top of my head. I didnt think the market was that big.
You guys do great work! I'm interested to see the results. BTW, is that a white 348SS in the background? Show some pics of that thing too!
I remember that day mine was made RWD, I carried that drive shaft away, and it became a real car. Too bad your going to put it back on.

Yes, all you need to do is disconnect the driveshaft. This is only a temporary solution to allow us to conduct dyno testing. As a permanent conversion, other modifications would be necessary.
This is the first engineering draft of our turbo package. Our engineers will have the final version completed by next Friday and ready for manufacturing. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Just checking, how much for a turbo conversion on an egear and still wanting to keep the 4wheel drive? Thanks

PM me if you want to know how to do it. There are downsides for some people like the traction control does not really work correctly anymore. but the upsides far out weigh the downsides, like the car not longer feels and handles like a toyota pickup truck. Everyone knows I think all AWD sports cars should be outlawed and removed from the road, but for what these guys are doing the only way the car will go straight is to leave it in AWD. I am sure the car will be fast but I prefer feel to fast these days, besides I can run a rail when I need that kind of feeling. Good luck guys

Sorry to be a smart arse but looking at the last picture that seems to be a 9 cylinder, or have you lost one of the pistons. Joking by the way, cool thread.
