LGM motorsports turbo hotside enquiry
Lets be Honest here, how many people would buy the hotside only, and what would you pay? I can make something happen in mass production in 6-8 months ( 75-100 sets)
I have no interest in making a turbo kit, but most of the F car guys are DIY guys, or have a shop do it that is more than capable of coming up with the rest of the system.
We have 5 different sets of headers for corvettes, and over 2000 sets sold to date. We would have NO problem delivering, if you guys SERIOUSLY think there is enough interest in hot parts only.
I have been a member of this site since the day it departed from LS!.com, and turbo guys seem to be the worst at screwing customers over. Id like that to stop, really. APS has answered most of that, but not everyone is in that market.

This started from the OFI thread about delivery. I have no intentions in building a kit, but the hotside is what gets most people in trouble. We have a great reputation with the corvette headers and that market and we could use that knowledge to build a nice hot side.
I know most want to keep the AC, most will use a T4, and most will DIY.

What someone needs to do is a factory manifold kit which ever ones,that keeps the a/c and does not require you to move the radiator/condensor forward. I know thats alot to ask for but thats the only hot side that is not out yet and i know so many people that would buy that right away. Including my self.

I can tell you from experience it will work. Offer a header/charge pipe setup at a decent price and it will sell. I would have done it along time ago. I just don’t have the ties with the manufactures to pull it off or even where to begin to find them.

Easy for you to say in PA! :-) Luckily, Lou is down here in Texas where you wouldn't dream of having a driver without A/C. Anyway, back to the subject...
I'd sure be interested in this. I'm contemplating a DIY turbo setup for my next project and definitely would buy stuff from you again, based on how happy I was with the headers.
Bring it on!

Louis,
Id say somewhere around $1500 for the headers coated. Maybe a lil more....
Id say Close to 3K if you use Stainless and have it coated and include the crossover and flange for the turbo.
Id have to sit down to see what it would take for the crossover and flange work.
Its going to be a lil bit of $$
People have the mind set all wrong when it comes to this stuff.
They see the other (Cheaper kits) price cheaper and they get it in there heads that this stuff should be cheap......
A well built kit is going to cost some $$
Thats just my .02

I would have to agree with t6 option. If i were to replace what i made myself, i would have a bigger turbo. I would also opt for a great set of tubular manis that work, and look better then the truck manifolds that i got.
I definatly dont care about Ac.
Lastly If you offer something better then others, and its cheaper people will buy it.
If you made a nice manifolds, with merge, and downpipe out of SS and it was around 2000 i would be interested.
