Thank you guys for the comments.

ezdaar: Ya, we plan on it down the road. We use to sell all of it, but most of that kind of stuff has huge competition, and very little margins. Once these kits are up and going we will slowly start adding AN fittings, turbo parts, gauges, etc back to the site.

85LSburb: The bottom heat shield is for the rubber power steering boot on the 07-13 trucks. We dont even include it with the 99-06 kits. The down pipe sits about 6" higher than that when bolted up to the turbo. So its away from the base of the power steering pump.

BlackGMC: All spark plugs can be removed when then kit is fully assembled yes.

Thanks
Sean

This is EXTREMELY interesting! I am just starting to learn about turbos and am thinking maybe I will go that direction with my 4.8 Silverado. Very exciting!

If 1 is good, 2 must be better. Right?

I know all the talk about if a single is sized properly the spool and power isn't a disadvantage but why is it that BMW, Ford and others do twins if its not better. My wife's X6 sure as hell is responsive and the Ford GT supercar has them so... is it packaging or what? Just seems better idk.

I have always thought two is better than one

In all seriousness we did try and pay attention to turbo spool/lag. We sized the primaries a little smaller than most of the forward facing headers on the market. Most of them stat 1 3/4", however they measure over 1 7/8" O.D. Our primaries measure 1 3/4" O.D. We also use a smaller 55mm turbine wheel, while leaving the compressor side 60mm.

Thanks
Sean

Emissions are easier to pull off (means keep) with twins.

How complete is the kit going to be? Any fab required or is it going to be a true bolt on kit?

Yes, it will be a complete bolt on kit from intake to exhaust minus fuel system and tuning. The kit even utilizes the factory bolt holes on the frame for intercooler brackets. 99-06 trucks include additional coils, billet coil brackets, our own branded plug wires, and all required AN hoses/fittings for oil and water lines to the turbos. Heat wrap/shields, metal zip ties, vacuum lines, and hose clamps are also included.

Thanks
Sean
