Hey, those few with home built turbo kit's hats off to all of you. Great work. If i go this route where would be the best place to buy the materials to start.What gauge/thickness do you recommend to use? What is prefered coated steel,stainless, or would the stainless benifit from coating? I 'm sorry I have so many questions I have done many searches and viewed many pictures to try and absorb all the genius information you have all contributed. I have a couple of books but I trust the knowledge of all that are running real life daily driver vehicles and dont have national race team funding. Oh I want to go with a front mount turbo. Thank you.

 

Give Billy at trtturbo a call. He sells sts kits, but he also sells and does alot of custom 1 of stuff also. Best customer service you'll find anywhere.

 

I really wanted to fab one from scratch. I have the TIG and tools and can weld decent but i would have my father in law do the finish weld's. STS is great but when the rainy season is here we have nice deep puddles i only have a 2-4 drop and you can feel the water splashing the floorboards under your feet I dont think a hot turbo like's to be run underwater.

 

You misunderstand what I'm saying. He does a good bit of custom work and could point you in the right direction. Billy also can offer I/c, piping, t-bolt clamps and many other turbo related items at awesome prices.

 

Ok I will give him a call monday or maybe tomorrow Ive been so busy at work. Thanks for your help Quicksilverado.

 

yep...he's doing my custom twin turbo 408 right now and could help you with your project for shure...

 

Quicksilverado,Bud8fan, Thank you. Billy was a great help very helpful. Just when I thought I was finished he would add extra information. I was willing to buy what I need from him but he told me where to go and get it. Hard to find someone to do that with a business these day's. Thanks again and now I'll start by trying to make a list.
