Default Starting my Turbo build

I am looking to add a turbocharger to my 01 WS6 M6. Did a lot of searching in the forced induction threads before deciding to make an account on this forum. was looking at some of the kits you guy have on your cars. I want a front mount style single. keep ac and run stock everything(maybe clutch upgrade.) I like the
http://www.fast-track-performance.ne...products_id=90 kit because its complete. havent found any info on this kit on the site. just wondering if you guys have any info. Looked at the KY turbo setup(very similar). i want a complete kit. also any info on running the car on e85 would be great.

You staying stock cubes? I would highly recommend the TTi street kit if you are. I'm currently running that kit on my Camaro w/ the T76.

i am currently staying with the stock block, until it coughs something out the block. I want a kit that i can eventually push upwards of 800+whp on built motor.from what i read the truck manifold kit can do that easily. tti is kinda limited isnt it? how much power does the stock clutch hold?

The "kits" usually aren't the limit... It's usually the turbocharger itself, intercooler, fuel, shortblock and other miscellaneous parts that will give out with added power

the fast track perfomance kit will keep the a/c. i talked to a guy who has one and the guy who builds em. its based off the c6 and truck manifolds. what clutch do you recommend. i had a spec stage 2 on my 04 GTO and didnt like it much.

I have good luck with the Spec stage 4 clutch. That turbo kit looks very nice to me.

Yes, the TTI street kit is limited. They will make some power but at a big exhaust backpressure level. Stock clutch's dont hold very much for an extended period of time.

i been reading about the monster clutches. the stage 4.5 seems about what im looking for, but i dont like the idea of a "puck" style. they say no chatter, but idk. oh the kit from josh at kentucky said the manifolds arnt included. or maybe i just read that wrong.

The manifolds are stock truck manifolds, flipped around, i believe. They can be had for less than 100$
