if i have seen one thing over the years. its that if there is a lot of hype around a new turbo kit coming out, either it will never end up being available, or the company will go out of business shortly after it is.

I can relate to that, the companies that stick around just do it. No presales, no hype.

I have been in the LS1 Turbo game for over 6 years. Dont plan on going anywhere any time soon. Give me a call sometime. My website is out dated as a new one is being built. I am sure I can cover your goals.

Josh I saw a turbo kit that mounts the turbo down low on the drivers side like a procharger and keeps the a/c, uses a bmr turbo k member, stock fans, is that something you built?
