looks like a PTK kit??? similar to the ebay knock off kit... but hey, if the system is complete, and the price is good, then go for it!!

Just make sure you get a hood that gets the hot air out, cuz that bitch is gunna be smoking the under hood temps!!!

LPE puts the turbos under the car.I own a LPE Stage4 TT C5. I agree I bet even with the covers if you boost alot you will be buring the paint off the hood.

It looks like the ebay knock off of the PTK kit. There were some PTK kits that made it out before going belly up, but I don't think many did. I know of a few people that are still waiting for parts and have a 90% kit.

Another kit it is modeled after is the Halltech (enter show off mode ). Here it is on my car.....which is still a work in progress.





As mentioned, it would be wise to invest in some sort of heat extracting hood. It does get toasty under there. I went another step further and bought the Tigershark nose.





I don't have any very recent pics (that will change as I am swapping turbos). I'll be the first to say that it is an involved build. There are many things that have to be relocated and much thought into everything.

However, I will say, the car is a freakin animal and is a blast to drive. When I get the engine bay organized, I won't be as embarrassed to show the engine bay off.

it's a ptk kit or a clone of it. to heck w/ working on a c5 w/ that kit go with something like aps or TTiX way better and much cleaner.

It is the old Pro turbo kit. I had this kit on my car for time. You will have to relocate almost everything and get rid of alot of stuff for it to fit. This is not a bolt on and go. Or atleast it wasnt for me. Changing the plugs and keeping the wires from burning is also difficult. You must take off the driver turbo and have skinny arms to change the plus on the driver side. Heat is another problem with the turbos up that high. My car made around 1200 rwhp and had so much heat that at cooked the underside of the carbor fiber hood and it was vented. Good luck with this one it is for someone who likes to work on their car.

Similar, but definitely not the same.

His was a custom built one IIRC.

if you want a TT kit, there is a forum member here selling a TTiX kit for 6500. another forum member on CorvetteForum.com is selling a STS kit for 5500.
Look at those before you look at this ebay POS.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it is a POS. The only thing wrong with the ebay kit is the Chinese turbos. Everything else (from what I hear) is built well and out of stainless steel.

here is a link to a good single turbo kit by hinsons

what you hear is wrong. there is nothing complete about this kit. if you do some research, you will find that the kit is INCOMPLETE and requires a LOT of relocation of "things". not to mention, underhood temps are HIGH and will melt the hood and bubble paint. the piping is nice, but you can do that anywhere. the turbos are crap as we well.

i was looking to do a tt setup on my car and this was the first kit i looked at since it was cheap. but the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and its DEFINITELY apparent in this case. don't believe me, go to CF.com and research in the FI section, you'll see a ton of info on this.


Hinson has an AWESOME setup!!! def worth the 5100 price tag for a BRAND new kit!!!

I don't think so. Maybe I just got lucky. Hardly any shaft play after several thousand miles and not pushing oil. Do you have any personal experience with them?

While I will agree that under the hood temps are high, it did not bubble the paint on the stock hood at all.



By the way, Its not my kit that he's looking to buy so this post is not biased in that way. They're just using my pics. I love mine.

Cleaner yes,...more power,...no, not even close. APS, TTiX won't come close to making the same power as one of these styled kits.


It is a PTK kit or a knock off of them.

It's a great kit but, it's a mans kit. Requires lots of prep, and planning. Works great though, ZERO kit related issues at the moment.

Again, requires alot of work to make,..work but,..well worth it.

I run a PTK kit like this on my car.

It's not bad once you take it apart twenty or so times.

Turbos can be off in a few minutes, plugs changed kinda quickly,....etc.

It isn't bad, just need to take a dfferent approach to everything. Well worth it..if you've got the skillz.
