I'm looking for recommendations concerning my goals for FI :)
I've decided to go Turbo after being N/A for 5 years
I wanted to buy Solobaric's Incon System but I wasn't first in line
In '01-02, I tried for nearly a year to locate an Incon TT Kit for sale with no luck. Harlan inspired me with his set-up since he recently, at the time, installed the Incon system and had his TurboHawk running like a bat-out-of-hell
Harlan corresponded with me on the install and necessary precautions of the set-up but, as I said, I was unable to find one of the limited production systems.
From my research so far, with the lack of availability of an Incon Kit, it looks like a PTK Kit would be best for me.
I'm looking for my Firehawk to be a daily-driven, fully-optioned and loaded, full-weight 650 rwhp car. I'll have a new set of heads made and obviously a different cam (with a few helpful suggestions in that area ). I DEFINITELY want to keep all of my accessories including the A/C Not sure if I can, or even should, run the LSX 90/90 I currently have I'm hoping I'll still be able to run my Corsa exhaust though
Could anyone chime in as to what exact kit I would need?
I have a racetronix fuel pump and F.A.S.T. 36 lb. injectors (injectors haven't been installed yet). Would this fuel system be sufficient?
I'd like to run everything off the stock PCM since I do all of my own tuning and I've tuned supercharged LS1'S in the past; although I'm not sure how radically different a Turbo tune would need to be.
Thanks in advance for any input
Christopher

I already have the complete Zex Direct Port System (I'd only be running a 125 shot) installed on my car with the Zex Racer's Kit; I just haven't taken it to the dyno or even connected the line to the bottle yet.
If I found a suitable Turbo System I would just throw the Direct Port, H/C, and Kooks on my other LS1.
I could probably exchange the 36#er's for bigger sizes if need be. Or throw them on the WS6 with the other goodies and buy the necessary size for my car.

I think the AC is kept with the PTK kit. I know there are other kits that allow the AC to be kept. I guess you already know forged internals would be in your best interests but I didn't see that anywhere in your post.

I'm STILL entertaining the idea of shipping you my car to fabricate the dual with accessories

It was really tempting to keep it . . . or at least try just once . . . but I would wanna get it to a dyno to get the a/f and I'd rather not waste that money since I wanna change my whole set-up.
Anyway, my Woman wants ALL the modifications I'm taking off my car ON Hers I'd just throw in a 224 cam I have lying around instead of my MS3 because a potential 620rwhp set-up is just too much for Her and my nerves Plus I'd jet Her for 75 instead of 125, but She doesn't need to know that
If either of us changes our minds about the kit I'll put you first in line . . . once I locate and decide on a Turbo kit that is
Everyone is being extremely helpful to a newbie like me so if there's anything I can do in return just let me know

I have the PTS/PTK kit on my car
with the correct Turbo this kit is capable of supporting way more than 650 RWHP an it keeps all everything but you do have to relocate the Alt.
it is a single kit and on my car it makes full boost at around 3200 RPM on the street and it made peak boost at 3900 on a Dynojet 224 mobile dyno
peak boost = Peak Tq and on the dyno I made 560 at 3900
it is making a little more on the street I think because it makes a little more boost
I drive the car everyday and I have had no real problems to speak of
other than the stock clutch slipping like a **** and breaking the weak little thingys that hold the Synco rings on to the tranny shaft
it is loosing a little boost on the top end right now but I think that has nothing to do with the turbo kit its self
it is a Kick *** kit
I think bboyferal may be near you and he has the same kit on his car
