The PTE 88 could possibly fit with the Gen 2 kit but the DP will have to be modified. The PTE88 only comes in 2 different flange options. One is a 4" V-band, which will require fabbing a whole new DP, so thats a little out of the question, since their is zero room through the stock LS1 k-member. The viable option is the PTE88 with the 4 bolt donut flange, which is 3". That will allow you to cut the v-band flange off the DP and weld a donut flange in its place and use the PT88. PTK does not offer this as an option, but it can be done. I myself did that mod to my current system, and it fits like a glove with the Gen 1 at least. The Gen 2, I will have to look at.
BTW, the GT47 is much bigger since that turbo is based on a detriot diesel chassis.

EDIT: sorry I read again and saw you are referring to an LT1, you just got me confused when you mentioned an LS1 k-member lol
BTW: how is spool/lag on the 88 compared to the 76? I know it will spool higher but just curious as to how much, t88 sounds so tempting
