we are in the prototype phase of offering these kits to everyone.. we will be retailing them for $XXXXX .. shipped...
will include a t-60 turbo, or t-70 whichever you choose...
blow off valve, and boost controller, piping will be all bolt on, and will include a downpipe to reconnect to factory, or aftermarket exhaust.. everything needed except for tuning...
trying to get an idea of pre sales estimates..
not just yet. we should have the first kit in about 3 weeks... done and on the car.. im even gonna dyno tune it to get good numbers.. this will be for stock bottom end cars... the kit we're doin now will have the t-60 on it..
should get around 575 to the wheels... not sure if fuel will be an issue.. if it becomes an issue at around 8 psi, then we might have to include injectors or a boost pump with the kit..
why would you want it to be intercooled? the basic kits will not be intercooled.. because the design we're making, there will be very little heat near the intake..
there will be an upgrade option for $XXx that will provide a front mount and the corresponding pipes..
but for now our kits are for quick reliable boost... if you wanna turn it up past the recommended settings your gonna need fuel, and a good tune..
but it will still be better than the relocated turbo kits.. we're trying to provide good boost for less.. no fancy robot welding.. just all handbuilt..
with a 1.05 a/r?
a turbo good for 680 hp for the base kit, and the upgrade with a turbo good for 900 hp?
the upgraded kit will have an intercooler... the base kit will be available with an intercooler. but there is no need for an intercooler at 7 psi.. intercoolers are overrated for anything under 10 psi..
yes you get colder air, but you also get lag, slower response, boost control issues...
believe me i know all about intercoolers too so please dont try to lecture me on it..
i had a stock 2.0 l subaru motor pushing 23 psi.. never skipped a beat.. read up on subaru blocks you'll see why thats amazing..
considering rods are known to go at 20...
its all in the tune, and for anything under 10 psi the 8-10 degrees warmer air will be worth it for the quickness and laglessness it will get..
from what ive gathered fuel injectors are good for around 600 flywheel hp...
so we're gonna try for 520 whp with no injector upgrades... sound good for $XXK?

cant log on to ls1.com
not sure
if its the same guy thats doing the ls1 swap into his wrx, he lives close to me, never met him but talked to him a few times on the local boards.
i dont think he knows anything about turbocharging an ls1 shrug. or a whole lot about an ls1. He got sold a 98 ls1 thinking it was a 2000+ corvette ls6, got took there.
not sure the whole deal about him ripping someone off, never heard the story but know somebody was ticked at him for ripping him off. it came up a few times on the local board
