Hi-flo turbo kit
I recently picked up an old hi-flo turbo kit for the TA. Did any of you guys run one of these back in the day? If so, what do I need to look out for?

I had one on my red '98 z28, same issues. I got my mine used from TURBOLS1SS on here, and he coached me thru a lot of it, and he'd already fixed the welds. The plugs are a PIA esp on the pass. side, gotta remove the downpipe on the pass. side to access them. Other install mods are having to modify the area around the battery to accomodate the cold air intake ducting, have to loosen the steering rack/move it over slightly to get the driver header/crossover mated up, and you have to trim the under side of the urethane nose if you mount the FMIC horizontally under the bumper support. All in all its a decent kit minus the pass side plug access. TURBOLS1SS made 750/750 thru a 6 speed/12 bolt with a 6L motor with AFR 225s and a 226ish duration cam and 15psi of boost. His install pics and help were very beneficial to the build on my car.
