Default Turbo Kits?

Sorry if this gets repeated a lot I tried search but didn't see anything.

I am wanting to put a turbo on my car but I do not have the resources to fab everything and so I was wondering who all makes kits for the F-bodies? All I know is APS but I have read several negative things about the turbos that they use. So who makes what?

Thanks

I'm running an sts kit. It was a direct bolt on kit. Took about a day to put it on. I have had it on the car for 2 summers and haven't had any issues.

Turbo Technology and their street kit retains AC.
Speed INC offers turbo kits as well.
Kentucky turbo is in the process of sponsoring the board, but has always treated our members well too.

you must suck at searching.. first APS doesn't sell to us Yankees any more , second HP performacne, STS an a few other companies make a kit.

google.com search "ls1 Turbo"

sts is the easiest and probably most popular right now.

Im running an ebay kit, but if I were to do it again, I would talk to Josh at KYTP. It would cost a little more than the route I took but would save some headache.
