Default Pics of the other eBay kit

There are 2 kits on eBay that are knock offs of the old PTK kit. This one runs about $450. I went ahead and assembled it off the car to see how everything fits together. Welds look good, V-band clamps gave me no issues as of yet. I just hope everything bolts up ok lol. Heres some pics.

I was looking at this kit too, doesn't it require a turbo K member? and also I didn't understand why it went into two different pipes then back to one from the downpipe?

Maybe a single larger diameter pipe wouldn't have enough ground-clearance?

Nope, I have a stock k member. There is a ton of info in my thread as well as monello. We both did the ebay kit, he did his first though

Alot of dumbasses will talk ****...

It will be fine.

Just start budgeting some money for a turbo, hardware/bolts, wastegate, oil lines, scavenger pump, fuel pump/injectors, electric fans, etc.

It has every single necessary V-band clamp?

I have had the PTS system on my car for five years, which is the same as that.

Man have I banged the **** out of the crossover pipe that runs under the tranny... Does NOT look pretty now. Everything still works awesome.

The two pipes that merge back to one is for ground clearance only. I bought one of these kits, and thought it didn't look too bad ( ya get what ya pay for) ...but I ended up going custom front-mount instead due to needing more than a t70.

I have my kit up for sale (never installed) WITH new Spohn solid mounts, if anyone is looking for one. $470 shipped. I now need cash to pay for my FLT 4l80e that is on the way

Sorry, I'm really just wanting to sell the whole kit with the mounts. IIRC, I paid $575 for the kit + Shipping, and $150 for the solid mounts...so at $470 shipped (us only) it's a pretty good way to save some bucks.

Thanks for your interest.

I did this build as well. I had a few fittment problems but nothing major! I am very pleased with the kit. Also you can fit a bigger turbo if you want! I have the turbonetics TC78 on mine. Spools great with my Lq4. I did take all the y style pipe off and am only running the down pipe. Now I am brake spooling to 5 lbs. We will see what a difference it makes at the track.

I thought about running a 4" DP off the turbo and splitting into 2 3" pipes to clear the k member, should be plenty for the T70 I have though. Did you also swap to solid motor mounts?

this looks like it would be a cool set up for my street car. Does anyone know how much it will be from start to finish. I have a 452rwhp set up thats going in my street car but I have wanted to go turbo for a long time and the car is just a roller right now

Why? The t70 uses a 3" down pipe

i dumped 4k in mine but that includes a $1,000 turbo, 317 heads, new ls6 cam, turbo k-member, fuel system, tuning software. but i did have a buddy fab the hotside parts in trade for installing a supercharger on a junky 09 mustang for him. you could probably do it cheaper than that.
