Burnout
Your very close to what things cost i have been costing things out
I'm shooting for somwhere between 6-7k Depending on what people would want
Then Fuel would be extra as most people might have already adressed it
Still hashing things out and should be able to get my truck in next week to start fabbing up the headers

Hey GMC SKI

Why not just produce the single turbo kit that C motorsports made? They never patented it, no longer producing the kit, you already have one to use as a model, and NO ONE makes a front mount single turbo for us.

I Could do that aswell but it's not right
They spent a lot of time making that kit
For someone to copy it
I would change a few things On that kit for sure
Have my Heart set on twins which would be good for HUGE power levels
need some low 10's this year to keep competitive with the other guys
The twins will help me with that I am sure

GMC SKY,
You are waisting your energy and money. Banks makes a TT setup for $6,950. Very nice.

Why not make both. I don't necessarily think its wrong if they are not in production any more, but if you make both it would appeal to a big market. We have something like 10 different superchargers on the market but no front mount turbo kit.?! Something just isn't right about that.

I'll try to get pics from a guy here locally, that did a twin kit on a 2500 6.0 with the clutch fan, air to air, and they mounted in a way that the return oil lines drain right into the valve covers, they mount high enough up, and the down pipes mount right up to the stock y-pipe location, no major modifications neededon his kit, except some work to get the innercooler to fit behind the stock grille, but in front of the radiator.

You must get pics!! Lots of pics!! Did this guy make the turbo setup him self or did someone else build it..

Better yet get him to register here so we can pic his brain first hand. And did I mention get pics.
