Default OFI Single f-body kit with a 80mm T6
Well I have a customer that sent me there 80mm T6 flanged turbo. He bought the turbo from jose. Very nice piece by the way. The turbo fits in the car with the a/c and all stock acc in there original position. Its bascially the same kit as the OFI f-body kit, but with a t6 flanged crossover and a 3.5" DP. People say that this is the same size as a gt42. So I hope this helps alot of people out. Here are some pics of it in progress. There is a flange under the crossover flange that will be used for support. I still need to make the support to hold the turbo up. Thats one heavy turbo.

You said you are making a bracket to help support the turbo? Is it going to be mounted to the motor so that it move with it?

do you have to run headers from both sides just to spin it? what the advantages and disadvantages?

Curious as to the fan setup as well. Looks like a tight squeeze just for the radiator. Looks good.

Fit with an 88mm T6 is coming possibly this week. I know I'm anxiously waiting.

why did you decide to go with the turbo mounting under the crossover and flange instead of the turbo beeing on top?

The install on one of these will take you about a weekend to do.

Yes there is 2 pusher fans on the other side of the radiator. The header prices are on the website.
98-02 headers only
$1195.95 for mild steel
$1449.95 for stainless steel

This will be another kit that I will offer as soon as I get the rest of it done. Price has not been figured out yet.

The reason is where the DP goes threw the and how the headers are designed.

With an S80, that thing will be flat out sick ....hehe. An S88 will fit as well since its the exact same size, just different internals.

Is there an option to upgrade the base kit to a T76 turbo? If so how much? I am running a 364ci LS2 and don't know if a T67 will be big enough. Thanks.
