Default WTB: Single turbo kit for LS1 fox body

Looking for something that someone has built and wants to sell, or would be interested in having one built for my car. Looking for good quality, no junk.
I need something that will support a max of 1000 hp, but will work well around 800.

Josh??
I spoke with B&G today, wasn't crazy about their kits. Said the kit is designed around truck accessories so he said there would be no guarantee of fitment with my F body stuff and the kit won't fit with my LS6 intake either. The price was kind of high, considering it wouldn't be tailored to my setup exactly. I guess it would seem my best bet will be if someone wants to sell a nice DIY setup that is complete. Unless another company can at least assure fitment for a $5k price tag.

I wasn't aware we were having phone difficulties. I will have to look into it. I might have been on the line and it didn't redirect to voicemail?

Try giving us a call again. or feel free to PM me your number and I'll give you a call. I apologize for the inconvienence, but look forward to speaking with you soon about your project. Thanks!

Location isn't of much concern, but finding a place that has a reasonably priced kit($5k and no guarantee of fitment is comedic) to fit my setup and can ship it out with a fairly good idea that'll fit without a great deal of hassle is looking unlikely it seems. You'd think there'd be more market for it, LSx swapped foxes seem to be pretty common anymore. If I was in the business, I'd attempt to corner the market since hardly anyone is selling a ready to go kit. Of course you'd have to stipulate supporting part requirements such as k member and radiator, etc. But still, no biggy.

Spoke with them at ModularTurbo, seem like cool people to do business with. Looked at some of their kit pics, looks like NICE work. But, problem again is that those are F-body kits and it'd be a matter of tailoring it to my Mustang. Lot of "should fit" thinking, nothing wrong with that, just not what I'm looking to get into. I built a turbo setup for one of this car's sbf combos years back and it was along the same lines. Worked well in the end, but was a PITA to get it there.

Thanks for the input though, I think a friend is thinking of ordering one of their kits for his Z28 after I spoke with him about them today.

No problem man I didnt get a chance to call them today. Maybe once your buddy orders a kit youll be able to look it over and see about what it'd take to work in the mustang. Good luck keep us updated as that is my ultimate goal with my car. 408 turbo.

ttt

Leaning more towards picking up someones DIY kit they're looking to sell, or someone who has a DIY kit they can duplicate at a cost.
