4. Fit to stock K-member and suspension
5. 3" DP with future plans going to 4" (4" DP setup will most likely exit near the front, basically race setup)
6. Coldside w/ and w/o intercooler
7. Bolt up to stock vehicle and be able to be installed in the driveway by anyone with mechanical ability.
8. Never to be sold unless one is on the shelf ready to go (OFI has taught me much LOL)
9. Position the air filter so that you don't have to worry about sucking up water. Thats even even we do a lower mounted turbo.
10. Make the kit with future maintenance in mind. ie, clutch jobs, oil changes, etc etc etc

Lowered cars aren't in the cards
Coatings aren't a problem
sounds like a great start makes me want to turbo lol

What kind of power are we talking with the MP T70. I am not to far and this sounds very tempting.

OK there is a little confusion goin' on
We DO NOT at this time have a pre-made kit for sale.
We can however build a kit for in house customers.

Anyone interested in having a kit built here at our shop should call so that we can discuss what we can do for ya.



MPT70 is worth 600rwhp.

This sounds very interesting/ promising. I should be picking up a fully built 402 SS, all I need is a turbo kit and injectors!

Good news everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a very long hiatus, work has begun once again to complete the prototype.

As of this moment we have taken all posts into consideration and are going to begin this month. We have a target release date of 4/21/10.

The kit will be a single turbo setup that retains A/C and relocates the Alternator. We do not at this know time how much we are going to charge but it will for sure be less than $3000. It will include a hotside, coldside, intercooler, turbo, wastegate, BOV, oil feed/return.

Also we MAY need test vehicles that are in the Gulf area ie. southern Mississippi.

Wow. Looks like I won't be welding up my own turbo kit, lol. If you can get it done for less that $3k then I think you will be working 'round the clock to keep up with the people who will be selling their prochargers and everyone else who wants FI... and doesnt want to spend as much as 80% what their cars are worth on a FI kit!

If you need someone from Montgomery AL then let me know!
