JT, can we see a few pictures from underneath how the pipes goes from exaust manifold to turbo and then back to the cats?

For better flow, would you recommend LS7 manifolds or Shorty headers?

Thanks!

As soon as we have the kit sitting in a box ready to ship (which is less than 30 days away) we will be able to install it in a long day and then a few hours the next day to tune it.


Give us a call if interested and we can set up a time and date. Thanks!

Exactly!! Plenty of cars are making a lot of horsepower on stock manifolds with this type turbo setup.

We will be posting up full pictures of everything here soon. We are trying to get an engine or a prop engine to bolt it up onto so you can see it out of the car.

haha, well we would never ever do anything like that with a customers car. (unless they tell us to ) which was the case here. We treat every customers car with the upmost respect and it will return back to the customer in better shape than when they dropped it off. See you on Saturday.

Excellent JT, Just like APS had done it before.
Are you guys going to Immokalee track tonight with that Camaro?
If yes, I'll take a trip to see the car. Let me know!

D@mn! I thought I was set on an SC, but those videos are making me reconsider. I like how the blow-off valve is not ricer-like.

Great job!!! MORE PICS'!!!

JT, since the Turbo is way up in the engine bay, there is going to build a lot of heat in stop & go situations in engine bay. Are you guys going to do something to isolate or dissipate that heat from other plastics and rubbers in that area?

There is not much more heat than normal, if any. Our intake air temps at redline (after a full pull) were only 109F at the hottest. When we were driving, they were only 102F. That is simply amazing for a turbo car.
