Check back with me in a month and I'll let you know how it's going. Putting the kit on my stock block LS1 and will be doing a writeup. There are other write ups on the board including Sluggish although he used his own turbo and bought the hot and cold parts from KYTP I believe. See the mods in my sig to get an idea of what I've got. I'm also getting an s60 and built trans so it's not just get a kit and call that it. And that is only shooting for 8psi.

I saw a phone once a couple years back. It was kinda weird lookin. Had some type of spinny thing to make the numbers work. I ran as fast as I could in fear of myself becoming obsolete in it's mere presence.

Kind of both...lol. Myself personally I dont have time through out the day to call people and sit on a phone. I post a question on here and people tell me to call... Im in and out of my office here and find it way easier to just post and run, then come back and check. Also dealing with a question online .. it reaches many more people. People that may have been not interested in something because they thought something different and never bothered to check it out... defined online they could change their mind and you could actually gain more customers.

I don't know what your car currently has but I'll give you some insight. The kit is just a kit. It doesn't mean that you won't have to by additional things outside of the kit. I went in buying one with the mindset that I'm also getting a built trans, fuel system and s60 rear end as my 10 bolt is on it's way out and I don't want to rebuild it just to break again. Now if you are worried that the kit is expensive at $5800 then you may want to look at something else. This winter is running me quite a bit more than the kit alone

The Setup his is dicussing is more in the $7000-8000 range. I dont blame him for checking around and doing his home work. I respect him for doing so. Everyone knows I am super busy and these builds take time. I wouldnt want anyone to rush into a purchase and be dissapointed in the results or time frames. Its the turbo game in general that scare people. Hell look how many shops tanked for what ever reason on this forum alone. I am in this for the long haul.

Hey Josh, when you get a second (and enough sleep) I think you were going to get me some info on a condenser radiator setup I can use. I've got all my other odds and ends being shipped to me. Just waiting on that.
Also OP, I was going to go with a procharger setup, but I really wanted a single turbo setup. I don't regret going with a kit even though I have yet to get into the build.
