TTI is a sponser here and might have something. They could probably do something even if they don't have a kit. APS could also and I believe they are sponsers too. Those are the two places I would suggest you check out. I have dealt with TTI and can say they are a good shop and take care of their customers. APS I have not dealt with but I haven't heard anything bad about them.

Keep the boost under 7# - or you'll be looking for a forged rotating assembly real soon. You'll need a new fuel pump and bigger injecors too, not to mention stronger springs to prevent valve float under boost. Have fun, FI is a slippery, expensive slope.

Kits- TTi makes a street and a race kit, Aps makes a TT kit, OFI makes a T4 and a T6 kit, Kentucky turbo make a Truck manifold kit, LS1 Turbo makes a TT kit, and Speed inc, Stenoid, and a few other shops make one off kits.

Forgot the rearmount guys STS and Texas rear tubos. There's quite a few few guys that have made their own. The ones I've mentioned are sponsers only; their are others also.

You are eighter going to have to make a turbo kit yourself or get a SC kit like procharger. Bob at EPP(sponser) is the man when it comes to them.

If i wanted to supercharge the V, this procharger kit looks like the way to go but The ls6 already has great mid band power and a high end punch from a turbo would rip up on the track.

plus think of the snap, crackling, backfires that this thing would !!!

im still looking around looking for a turbo setup so let me know if anyone hears about any Turbo Vs..
