Default KYTP kits

hey guys, ive finally decided that when i get my new engine build going im going to upgrade to a front mount set up and im really liking the KYTP kit..i know alot of you on here run these and love them...besides some modifications to get the turbo to fit, what other fab work is needed to install these system? any ifo will help, and what if anything could i possibly keep from my STS set up? or should i just get rid of it all? and what do you guys think would be a good sell price for a used STS set up? ive had it on the car for 2 yrs now and it still works like new..and sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing I had to do to make it fit was cut up the front bumper for the intercooler and trim the coldside piping. I also had to drill a couple holes for the IAT sensor and the meth nozzle. Almost forgot I had to make the drain line, that is it.

i kust did some looking around a bit, and i totally forgot about this kit...what do you guys know about the kit from fast track? how good is it? i talked to the guy a while back when it was still in R&D, he played a good card, made it sound real good..the set up looks the part, and is priced about the same as the other front mounts..just looking for some insight oin this set up..or even people that run it...

KYTP makes a great kit and has great customer service. He has helped me with a few questions and i have yet to buy anything from him. I like doing/building stuff myself.

If you have the intercooler on yours i would say that could be reused with some piping and possibly the turbo.

You need to set a goal as far as hp is concerned. Tell Josh your goal and he will fix you up with everything you need.

Just google his website to get his number and call him tomorrow.

Im going front mount also. Id imagin you can keep your gate and bov tial stuff is dam good. As far as josh just let him know and he can build it the way you want. And the tc series turbo will be more then enough to put you back in time. I like the rear mount but its time to go front mount Im trying for 200 mph in the mile and I cant do it with a rearmount. But I think his base kit can net 600+
