Any Turbo Kits I can bolt on from home w/o losing AC?
Basically what the title says. i would like to do all the work myself, but don't want to do pipe fabrication in the garage. I know I can drop it off at say "speed inc" but there is no fun in having others work on your car. I'm considering procharger just because I can do all the work, but I'd love to have a single turbo that I can bolt on without losing things like the AC or powersteering, etc, etc. I'm leaning toward a 76mm single turbo, but would do TT if there is a quality kit.
Any ideas?
BTW, No STS.

It depends what kind of power you want, TTI has the street kit, which will get you 500rwhp but not big numbers. I don't know how bolt together a kentucky turbo kit would be, I know he builds alot of cool stuff but not sure about ease of installation.

I'd rather have a decent turbo that I can crank the boost up over the 8psi stock block safe area once I build up the engine a bit. The last thing I want when plunking down good money is to hit a glass ceiling the day I bolt it on.

Hi, im installing an sts turbo on my ws6, on my drive way. Only things i lost were my muffler and long tubes, but i wrapped my whole exhaust and coated my stock manifolds. Installation has been going smooth. Sts claims 4 hours but i can only work on it a few hours a week so its taking me a bit longer, no biggie...
