Too bad the darn setup won't work with my Longtubes :(

That being said, if there was interest and somebody wanted us to build a single-kit on their car we certainly could

This single-turbo car didn't turn out too bad:

That is one sick Corvette! I am really impressed with your guys' work.

but wouldnt a single turbo be a bit cheaper? ive always been used to single turbos. since im always in the "JDM" scene...

im used to evos , supras , civics on boost and such...

That is actually a good thing -- you get to sell them and put that money toward the turbo kit

You can run shorty's if you want but it is a total waste of money on a stock engine / stock boost level.

Yeah, but does he still have the stock manifolds to put back on.

It "Could" be but it all depends on how the single-turbo is configured and which turbo is chosen. With having such a small boost window you almost have to spring for a ball-bearing cartridge to get a large enough turbo to make 400+rwhp and still not be horribly laggy.

I think on this particular car you can save *Some* money on a single set-up but it wouldn't be a lot. The twin set-up would spool quicker and offer a broader power-band that would make it the better choice even if I sold both options IMO. Then I would have a single-kit I would never sell

The single advantage would be cost cost cost *IF* I was OK tossing on a ChinaBay turbo and telling you to sign a waiver

If not, I could supply them free

so the stock manifolds are the ones to use in this setup not shorty headers? interesting... good to know

IPSjeff · 03-24-2011, 05:57 PM

We almost have all the cold-side intercooler tubing done and JIG'd up:

More to come!

We use the stock manifolds on the V8 and V6 Camaro kits. They don't "Hinder" power at all short of 750rwhp from our testing thus far. We did run shorty's on the V8 SS that made 1090rwhp but that was only because the stock manifolds wouldn't work with his specific heads.
