Default Whats New in Front mount kits?

Well its been a long while since ive posted here.

Been Playing with my Dmax,

But i miss having an LS engine, so i bought a 2000 ECSB Z71 to play with.

Going to throw a cam in it and have Zippy tune it,

But ive been away from the gas side for a while and am wandering,

Any New Front Mount turbo kits out there?

What Do you guys reccomend? Just want a simple, nice bolt on kit That will make it a fun Daily driver.

Dont want a rear mount this time around.

Thanks !

have you changed the flange at the back of the log from a V-band to a stock type flange like the other side??

No, I still use the Vbands on my kits. The one you saw on that other thread was built with the parts Tomas supplied me so it had the 3 bolt flange. I could however build one with a 3 bolt flange it someone wanted that.

If I had another kit built, thats something I'd definitely change, the location of the downpipe/crossover/end of the log/frame rail puts that V band in a hell of a place to get to to tighten... at least on my truck it does. I have to get at it through the wheel well, and even then its a circus act getting the flange put together, the clamp on it right, and tightening it all at the same time LOL.
