Well- i searched for a good while now- not seen any single turbo setups, but have found lots of interesting power numbers, and setups..

I've also figured out that the STS type rear mount system seems to have alot of crap to hang with it. ie- vaccum lines, oil/water lines, extra piping etc.

Are people making about the same power with Centrifugal blowers on most streetable applications on " pumpgas" ( 93ish octane)
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????


What do ya'll think is better - as far as time for install, tuning, and price goes?

Nice- now how is your exhaust from the manifolds to the turbo ran? - are you using single header or exhaust from both?

This kit was a custom set up made by a member on cz28.com. Its kind of a craze set up if you ask me but it works. The right side crosses over in front of the k-member and joins the driver side and goes into the turbo .96ar T4 housing into a 3.5" down pipe all the way to the back.

Is it price efficient? Who set it up, and can it be done for less than $2500?

The pic of my turbo Z is old. I have sense installed a gen 7 and new fuel lines so no the fuel lines are no longer on the turbo. The turbo is a small frame T88 with a .96ar T4.

The guy who built this kit is no longer building them. The kit I have is the only one like it that he made.

Prety cool keeping the acesories, but why not switch to a tubular K and lower A arms? seem like it would free up some space to work with over the stock stamped peaces.

That is one clean looking setup, i want to know more about it. Also, are you planning on relocating those fuel lines? I would be worried about them sitting on top of the turbo like that.

I assume this was for me. I have tubular stuff on my personal car and just use the stock stuff as mockup. This way the kit will fit the worst case scenerio (stock stuff). You are right though, the tubular stuff gives a shitload of clearance.

The fuel lines have been relocated with 6an lines. The set up is realy simple custom headers that tie into each other and conect to the turbo at the front left of the eng. There are a few things about it I would like to change but for now it will do.
