I think this will be a great seller, the price is what has always scared me off but this may be the ticket. Very good to hear the waterless intake tube is made as well!

Here are some pics of the air intake system. We are going to include these with the group special of 5 kits. Normally cost 250.00
The kit includes 3" tubing, couplers to; connect the turbo to the stock air box nice and HI away from any water.
Electric fans are a must with this set up.

Or you like your rear mount stuff and want faster spooling etc.
The kit will have an oil pump. The turbo compressor housing is just slightly lower the the frame.
You can see our air to air in one of the pics. We will have 3 options for our customers to choose.
500max
650+
and 500+ALL day long air to water. Add ice or at the race track HP numbers go well over 750hp.

Some prelim picks(mock ups) and as always getting peoples input.

Is there any way you could make this work on an OBS?

I dont see why it wouldn't work on a OBS as long as there was a 5.3 in it!

the standard kit lowest point is the 3" air inlet tube under the front frame, then the next one will be the 2.5" pressured cold side again under the frame.
Then it is the turbo housing, roughlt 1" below the tranny crossover.

Hey Bill seen that, will not that one exactly.
Its a exteranl oil pump system. Looked into that at the start of this project, the cost is pretty hi, pump only I was looking at where 450-750 dollars just for the pump. If anyone wants one I would need a deposit of 1000.00 to get started and would build you one.
