The deciding factor for me between the two basic kits being offered from AGP and IPS, will be ground clearance. Our roads are VERY bad here. I'm getting conflicting reports which of the two BASIC kits hangs a bit lower after all is said and done.

AGP has nothing below the frame so no way to scrap it unless you are dragging the frame of the car, in which you have other issues.

Matt posted some pics.
One of them is showing how they hang under the car when installed.

Hi, am new here. Just recent bought a 2013 camaro 1LE. Am interested in added a turbo kit later on down the road. 800rwhp is my goal. I see a lot of you have the AGP and IPS kits. Anyone have any Hellion kits. Am all ears for listening. Thanks

And from my research, these should do nicely.

Im not running the mile like you but just an occasional 2.5 mile road course track day a few times a year. I am primarily concerned about the turbos hanging below my frame since my car is pretty low with 19" wheels and the Pedders stuff.

I don't know if you ever made a decision but I've been running my IPS kit with the GT3582Rs for almost 30,000 miles without issue. I currently have a 416 making 1064whp 1050wtq @18psi. Skid plate will protect the turbos with no issue I would just change the bolts on the skid plate to a recessed bolt style.

The second one probably had an hour of idle time and 20 seconds of boost applied. A friend that works on high level, 5 and 6 second, turbo drag cars says that if a turbo makes it a couple of passes the balance is probably fine..

Did y'all ever verify that it wasn't an oiling issue?

Yes we did, Precision said beyond a doubt, the very first journal bearing turbos were due to an oiling issue.... The others (ball bearing) were simply a broken shaft... If it can be called simply... We were stressing the hell out of them with the cubes we throw at em... The new 76's I have no worries with...

CyberPredator · 11-18-2013, 11:20 AM

Are you up and running with the 76's?

Here's a few photo shos from the front looking back, and the sides. The base AGP kit is pretty nicely fitted so I don't think I'll be having any ground clearance issues whatsoever.

CyberPredator · 11-18-2013, 12:17 PM

IPS with skid plate. I believe they got a new bolt style on the newer kits that has a flush head. This is non entry level kit with 4" intake. Turbos are about 3/4" below frame. 3" intake is supposed to be above frame. Hope this helps.

SLEEPER SS · 11-18-2013, 12:20 PM

Will I be able to keep my 3in catback and kooks long tubes with the ips twin turbo set up?

Unreal · 11-18-2013, 12:44 PM

None of the turbo kits besides maybe an STS will work with long tube headers. Catbacks can always be easily modded to work.
