How come there is no main companies building front mount Single or twin turbo kits.

APS makes a twin kit, and STS make their rear mount but no one really makes a bolt on front mount turbo setup.

Is there any company out there that I can not find on Google that make a kit, looking for a front mount behind the head light turbo kit. DO NOT what a hacked together kit.

I would like to make my own but the GF cant afford the down time of her GTO for me to fab one up

Thanks

The main problem is the engine compartment is a bit tight for fitting turbo headers and the engine placement isnt the same in every car.
It varies in every car so making a kit is hard to do and make it fit every car.

We do custom turbo builds on GTO's but we would have to have the car.

Gen TT uses some really cheap internally wastegated turbos. The casting is so cheap that after a few thousand miles you can scratch it with your fingernail.

The KY Turbo kit is not that good either. The downpipe come too close to the steering rack and where it places the O2 sensors makes no sense.

The APS kit is not too bad with the upgraded turbos.

On a stock GTO how is the engine not in the same place as all of the others? Am I missing something? Shouldn't they all be in the same place?

You would think they would be the same on every car but they vary a little bit from car to car, it's not much, maybe a 1/4" but that is allot when trying to fabricate headers for production
