Default who all makes turbo kits now days

im sure theres a thread like this out there. but im too lazy to search

who all makes turbo kits for our trucks now days and who makes the best?

i know about trick, nelson, and sts. other than that im not sure. i wish livernois still made their kit. it looked to be really nice! im debating on getting rid of the nitrous for a turbo...or maybe just getting rid of one of the nitrous kits.

kyle @kb racing made my kit. i love the quality and customer service I have had thus far! All those companies are great, I wouldn't go with the sts simply because its rear mount. I know casey is doing some awesome stuff with the rear mount but his is not even close to a "Kit" you buy from sts. Most all are good kits and some are Nicer looking as some would say..... but they all perform pretty well. I have only used kyles kit and I like it.

I can make what ever kind of a kit you want. And in a couple weeks, I'll be located in the Houston area.

And of course, mine are the best!

haha, i wont be doing anything anytime soon. hell my new motor is still at HKE being built. that put enough of a ding in my wallet. im just looking into different companies and the cost associated with going turbo. nitrous is fun, but running out of juice and needing a refill isnt lol. nitrous+boost on a 408 sounds cool though!

if anyone knows of a company that isnt a sponsorer, PM me. im not looking to know who is "BEST". i just want to know who all makes bolt in kits out there. ill decide which design/material/quality/price fits me best.

kb, for giggles, shoot me a quote for an intercooled stainless system that will handle a 408. you being located in houston could be a huge selling point for me!

TRUE... all true.

very glad I went with the KB kit. Just had to take it all apart to replace my engine and I can say I love his fit and finish. goes right back together like factory.

well there is Walker Morgan who built the kit that was on curtD's truck and now Spoolin is using. the guy does amazing work that is top notch. im not sure how you would feel about having a kit custom built for your truck 1000 miles away though... he also did a lot of work on sprayedenali's truck which is the red ext cab.

just adding names as you wanted
