Default List of complete Turbo Kits

Hey guys, I see that APS no longer makes the Fbody twin turbo kit. Can people please chime in on a front mount kit that keeps A/C. Im interested in building a street car with around 500 rwhp. thanks!

Turbo Technologies (TTI) make single turbo kits that keep the AC for Fbodys and will make 500rwhp easy

I don't know if it's appropriate to mention a turbo kit that has yet to be released but I'm waiting for Rob @ Modular Turbo to finish up his kit. He's spending a lot of time making sure everything is perfect and since I don't want any "almost fits right" parts on my car I personally will be waiting for that kit. Even in single configuration 500 horsepower will be beyond easy. Call him and ask where he's at on the projected release date. He's a sponsor here. 252-568-3899.

Moderators: If this post is inappropriate please delete. Thank you.

If 500rwhp is the only goal I would just rock out with a n2o kit. With a big cam a 150shot 575rwhp is no problem. It would be cheap and a lot less headache.

You are not a sponsor and your link in a no no here FYI.

Also a camaro has no where near the room that a mustang has.
Good luck with your endevour, you will need it.

PS if by some wild chance that you make a worth while kit for 2000 dollars or less for these cars, you deserve a NOBEL prize or an honorary PHd. Especially since the turbo, wastegate and BOV would run 1100 retail if you used the cheapest worthwhile turbo, wastegate, and BOV. You got $900 left before profit, labor, and materials come out so basically what I'm saying is have fun talking to chinese manufacturers. Also if its chinese it will suck so.......

agreed the only inexpensive turbo that you could use and still sleep at night, assuming of course that you actually care about your customers, is a masterpower and that is the turbo I used for my cost estimation.

T70= 600
Tial 38mm= 220
any good BOV = 180+
total = 1000 + shipping credit card fees handling taxes etc etc

you got almost 900 left. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it would be real hard to do it and make a profit off of it. Obviously someone could make their own kit for cheap as hell but remember its FREE labor if you do it yourself.

Going turbo can be really EASY.......... if you have one of the following!

1. SERIOUS F'IN SKILLS
2. SERIOUS F'IN MONEY

3. or a lil' of both LOL
