Default So who makes complete turbo systems for LS1 F-body cars?

Like the title says, who makes complete turbo systems for LS1 4th gen camaros? When i say complete, i mean includes everything you need to make it function the way it should? If anyone knows of any person or manfacturer that sells them ,please list the website they can be found at. It doesn't matter if its single or twin turbo system. But what does matter is that it would need to be a system that can be brought and installed by someone other than the person who sells it. Like GMRspeed won't let you buy their systems unless its brought and installed inhouse only. I know sts turbo and texas rear mounts already. At this point, i am looking to see if i can buy a complete front mount system for my 98 camaro. If there are non, i guess i am going with STS then.

I hear there is a company, sponsor to this site starting to prototype a twin kit, if it happens they will be sweet.

GENTT and APS are both working on f-body kits at the moment. And from what I've seen, they might be the only true turbo kit builders i'd trust with a complete and reliable product.

I'd at least wait a few months to see what develops with those two companies.

Yes, and I have done a metric $hit ton of research on the company as well as talking to people with experience on the kit, and APS is the real deal.

We offer a twin GT35R kit retains air cond; sorry if we don't hype it enough for everyone, or do a large group buy. The kit can be shipped worldwide, not just an inhouse deal. Jim and Dan have put together a nice setup.

Thats weird, i was really under the impression that i read somehwere Speed Inc would only do an inhouse install with their systems only. I guess i misheard. But i was almost positive some one on this forum or camaroz28.com forum said that. But yeah, i got time anyway, but it doesn't hurt to do some research now. Speed Inc puts out that eliminator turbo system right?

I've seen the APS systems for the vettes. They look really nice. Can you completely confirm that they are really coming out with one? Also, who is GenTT? Do they have a website where you can see they stuff?

How much more do front mount systems like the ones mentioned from PTK, Speed Inc, APS, etc go for versus the STS rear mount? As it would stand, i would be paying extra already for the upgrades that would make my car faster than the stock system with the STS rear mount. Would all the systems mentioned make nearly 700+ Rwhp? And yes i am getting a completely new forged 402 engine that will be able to support more than 15 psi just so you all know, with the new trans and rear to boot. I'm well aware of what i need to support the power. This is strictly about the turbo aspect though.

Turbo Technologies makes two kits for our cars and can deliver them in about two weeks. I am upgrading to thier race kit and am selling my 650rwhp street kit... See the sig!

Also TTi has been making thier kits longer than anybody else for the F-Body. The systems are quite reliable. I daily drive my car on the high boost settings.

All of those will support that power and more with the right turbo... Mine keeps AC and runs downpipe over the K-member.

We've seen a few cars that they have completed kits on here in the last few weeks, they are building up a kit for my car now so anyone should be able to get a kit no problem. If you guys are interested let me know and I'll get some pricing and lead time.
