I'm assumin this kit is going to be between $4-5k. Seems like nothing but good parts though, and its pretty cool you can put this kit together in 1 day.

You won't be able to keep these things in stock. If its everything the APS kit wasn't and better you will not have a problem selling these. APS would have sold more if there parts weren't junk. I am looking forward to some pics too!

Pics are coming SOON I Promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!


K member is ours we had to make one from scratch, the K members that are currently available just didn't give us enough room. We tried like hell to use several different pre-existing K members (BMR,SPOHN,UMI) to keep costs down but we couldn't.

Nothing runs under the K member No ground clearances issues at all.

Turbos are mounted under the heads hugging the block. Similiar to the APS kit.

Kit will accommodate T4 turbos up to MC78.
Like I mentioned before the kit is TRI compatible between the MP, Tnetics, and Precision T4 turbos w/ median size compressor housing ie E cover/60 cover/S cover

We won't be giving out any CAD files sorry....

We are still making a budget hotside..... To Be Released Summer 2010

LT1 version will be released later this year..... (we haven't forgot about you guys either)

2010 camaro coming as well.....

We are on the fence when it comes to doing a GTO and corvette kit, it is going to depend on how busy you guys keep us.


As far as keeping them in stock... I HOPE we can't keep it in stock LOL
I would love to be that busy.

Those of you that have done business with us in the past know, we don't BS and we EARN your business. We are going to do this right, and I can assure you all that you have never in your days come accross a better kit for these cars. Please be patient its coming and when it comes it's gonna change the game.

Thanks for reading,

Rob@ModularTurbo.com

I remember talking to you over the phone, it sounds like a very impressive kit for sure! Did you need a test fitter for the budget hot side? lol

so right now your just doing the twin kit and the single kit will be the budget hotside? with the twin or each for that matter will the downpipes actually connect into the catback or??? because the reason i ask is that theres alot of "budget" crossovers u can buy for truck manifolds but none come with a dp and if someone has the means to make a dp there just going to make the crossover too but what about those who dont have a welder and stuff. do u get what im sayin lol

We aren't making anything that doesn't connect to stock style cat back exhaust systems

Also the twin and single are going to be different than the budget hotside.

The single kit upgrades to the twin so they are married to each other.

The budget hotside will be made differently to keep the price down, there will however be some creature comforts lost with it though.

I read through this whole thread again last night, and after going over everything again I feel that this is the best way to approach this still.

Your kit sounds interesting. Always nice to have more options for the fourth gens especially with aps not making f body kits and of course their poor customer support and
bad turbo problems. While I have pretty much worked thru the other little problems with their kit it is still annoying that have to upgrade/change out my turbos as don't trust the standard supplied ones which were likely knock offs.
And the aps was a very intensive install with quite a bit of tweaking needed. While I am generally still happy with the kit and it is still working at 6000miles it does look like you have thought things out well.
Be very interested to see how your car looks,fits ,price etc. Not likely to sell my kit and get yours but if car got totalled or something might be interested and do also have an lt1car as well.
I will say that you should try hard to always have a kit in stock or at the very least not take more than a few weeks maybe 4 tops to build and ship your kits. I was burned by small company on board for 2000 bucks with my first custom twin kit. That was one big reason went to aps. The did keep their word ,shipping the kit ahead of schedule and aside from turbos and few little issues like inlet tubes sucking shut at higher boost quailty of most all the parts was high and installation instructions were very thorough.

Anyway best of luck with your kit and looking forward to seeing pics of it and prices.

I am at a crossroads with my car power wise. I've been at ~440rwhp for a number of years and would like to be around 520-530 rwhp and 500 rwtq and keep going back and forth between a new shortblock or a power adder. Price will be a deciding factor for sure, but also sacrifices and reliability.

I'm eargerly looking forward to your progress reports.

A 1000 rwhp won’t be a surprise, it will be expected!

I edited this one for arguments sake.

As for this kit being the one all others are judged. That is funny. I am eagerly waiting to see what Rob comes out with.

FYI: anybody that is looking for a single turbo budget kit, listen up.

Josh @ KY makes a great kit. If we didn't make em I buy from him.

He has been on this forum for a long time and has a great reputation.
