I would love to hear some feedback on this kit as well. I would like to go FI, but losing the AC in south Florida is out of the question.

Do the temps stay down with the AC on?

What is the largest turbo you can go with in this kit?

I know Josh can make one hell of a kit, but Blownhotrodder and myself were asking how people liked the kit that keeps AC. I too haven't seen pics of the kit that retains AC, but have seen tons of his kits that remove the AC.

Wondering if anyone has ran into any problems, or if anyone has his kit in a warm climate.

My kit keeps the A/C and you can fit up to 106mm turbo in the front.
Still working out some minor bugs, but the A/C compressor is in stock location. I have to go the A/C shop to run the new lines and we are golden!

I am in the process of ordering(from Josh at Kentucky Turbo...of course) a custom TC78 Turbonetics setup that keeps the a\c !! He is also engineering my setup with an air to water intercooler. My front bumper will look stock (no cutouts). Keeping my foglights!!
Will post when parts are in!!

I'm doing a custom twin setup from Josh. I'm doing a LME 408 lsx with twin 72's. I have a build thread on here. I haven't updated for a while. I'll update once the pics start rolling in from Josh. Should be pretty nasty once it's all said and done.

Hell I dont think I have done but maybe one kit isn the last 6 moths that hasnt been able to keep the A/C. There are gonna be some build threads popping up along the way that will show some of these builds off. The days of dropping $12k+ to keep A/C with a Turbo are over.

Two kits are in the works right now. One T4 and One T6 setup. Both Tube header setups that will retain the A/C. Jigs are being built currently. Vendors are being lined up. I wont half *** this just to watch it fall apart like so many other turbo shops have done.

Dont worry guys. I have it covered.

Looks awesome Josh! I've always been a fan of your work and very glad you're still around! I will get another f-body some day soon and it will have one of your kits on it!

That would be the T4 Setup that is in the works. Geared towards the Bolt On crowd.

Hunter, your setup is very sexy. Josh, saw the latest pictures of the twin 78 setup that keeps the AC for Steve. Looks sweet! I like the A2W configuration also.

The A2W setup is something New. I am sure he will fill you in on the details. It should be ready to box up tomarrow.

Beautiful work. I love seeing your kits pop up every now and then as they are just perfect for the guys that want to go FI but keep the car together for the most part.
