It may have been posted already but I'm not reading through this thing again, does your k-member provide more necessary clearance compared to other turbo style pieces already on the market? If not, would you offer this kit w/o the k-member for those that already have one?

More than a BMR Turbo Tubular, which is what I bought in preparation for this kit or something similar...

As far as I know the kit won't work without our K member.

The turbo assembly that is laying on the floor is pretty much the F1 hotside, its just doesn't have the crossover port welded in it yet.

How much more cost are you thinking will be added to each of the kits?

I think need to see it in more final form to really see how it will be.
Are you going to use just dump tubes on both gates? no recirc on the gates?
Also your turbos are pretty low it looks like , so are you sure you also might not have some oil problems and possibly need to use scavenger pump?

the wastegates will recirc those are just old photos.

I don't have pics that I am ready to show of the coldside yet.....

The price so far is looking like it won't change from what I initially mentioned, F1 5500 and F2 7500. I am hoping they can come down once everything has been finalized.

Anyone that knows us or has done business with us in the past knows that we always like to "under promise, over deliver" its my motto LOL.

I am hoping that's the case as far as price is concerned.

Also the pics that I posted are progress pics from over 2.5 months ago, so don't go picking them to shreds. When you see the final product you will **** ur pants!

And..... when you install it you will **** ur pants. This thing is gonna bolt-on like BUTTA!!!!!

Umm....how high do you want the oil drain above the pan? It looks like its 4" + easy. I doubt there would be any oil issues with that much of a drop, Im running less than an inch without issue. Aside from that I doubt Rob would have managed to overlook that minor detail when given all the other attention to detail. Just sayin...

Keep it up, Rob!

I would imagine that your turbo would start hitting either engine block, firewall, or inner fender

Rob, would the kit work with....lets say....TC78's

Depends on what materials he's using. If its a sh10 or 40 304 stainless properly welded, and properly supported, he should be fine. Speed INC's kit was mild, probably thin wall, and they cracked.

SCH 10 304 SS

Also the turbonetics turbo in the picture is an MC78, so yes you can run twin MC78's or MC76's.

2 X MC78 = stoopid power potential w/ AC
