Default Looking to expand.

Right now we offer kits for
99-13 Gm singles, many stages available.
99-13 GM twin kit.
Ford Lightning single kit.

We are looking at expanded our kits line up and offerings to the public.

Looking at building turbo kits for the 90-98 1/2ton LS swap trucks first.
And working my way backwards in years.
Then moving on to other makes & models.

What I would need is a truck that uses a manufactured mounting system that is available to the public. Truck must also have ac, inner fenders etc. as much stock as possible. Just with an LS engine. And be popular.
Sorry no DIY mounting stuff. This way it allows others easy access to turbo charge their early year swap.

If you have such a vehicle and would like a discounted price on a kit for using your ride. Please pm or call me.
I would need the truck for 6-8 weeks.

**no tuning or fueling mods are done at my shop**

As always any feed back is appreciated.

An S-10 seems like a popular one.

Mustang fox body ls swap?

Jeep srt8. These guys are paying 10g for shops to put turbos on them and everyone who is a diy guy would rather have front mount under hood turbos than rear mounts. I think if u could make a bolt on kit for jeeps, you would be a very busy man.

Already busy. LOL

But want to expand into other kits, and markets.
We need customers that can leave their rides here for some time to build a kit and fixtures.
So they would need to be close. Or pay freight bills and on vehicles that isn't cheap.

The 88-98 trucks seem to very poplar swaps for the
LS platform.
8.1L trucks are doable. Not sure there are many wanting to turbo them or how they react to turboing? ???
S10
Fox body
Jeep
It really comes down to who has a truck and is that market able to carry a kit.

Years back I tried the 5cyl Colorado. Had no interest in it once the kit was done.
So it got scrapped.
Twin turbo Lightning. Same story.
So I do have to be careful what I bring in for production.

1 off builds. No problem. Bring your ride. And leave a deposit. Well get a kit done for that customer.

No idea if it fits.
Another reason to bring vehicles (trucks/cars) in and add to the line up.

And build kits that fit different applications.
So customer can get into turbo/boost and have a well built kit.
