Are you referring to an Fbody kit or one for your Cobalt? I talked with them last month and was told they had an Fbody on the lift and were working on a kit. Was supposed to be out this month sometime he said. Who knows though, plans always change.

We were about to, but discovered the cylinders had pitting when we went to hone them. Time to find a new block

I was asking about the F-body. He told me they dont have plans for the near future but who knows maybe I talked to one there who wasnt really interested in the business as much as others there are.

Considering there is already a cheap eBay hotside available and modular turbo making good kits for cheap I really don't think there is a market for them , there turbos yes but a whole kit not so much

I would agree, if i was going to do a LS1 turbo build I would contact josh at Kentuky Turbo... I was just saying that the kit is way cheap and 2300 full kit is pretty resonable

I would be very interested in an on3 kit. There is gap between the high end kits and the useless ebay stuff. I believe the mustang kits are 3 grand? Thats half of the other kits are. Come on3, do it!

the quality of the our eBay kit is on par or better then what on3 offers for mustangs as far as the hotparts go
This is my opinion base off of the few on3 mustangs I've seen and research I've done on them
I'm also a eBay hotparts owner and I all reality there is only two major issues with it , the dp and a few bolt holes needed to be clearanced , I knew this going into it so I've never bothered with the dp and made my own

I can guarantee modular turbos kit is far superior than anything that on3 is going to make and is going to be same price range
I wish they made there kits before I built my car

The kits are 2300 for a full kit if you order the forward facing kit with headers and 1600 if you get there gen 1 kit

I am not sure where you get your info, but i have a 0n3 forward facing kit on my 96' Cobra. And the kit's fitment is amazing and is a breeze to install. As I previously stated the things I would improve on are the v bands and add gaskets and copper rtv to all the pipes.

4v kit putting down 600hp plus and runs 10's:

2v forward facing kit:
488hp on a 2v

Is the ON3 76Mmm .96a/r physically bigger than a TC76 (also .96a/r)?

a couple small changes on the ebay hotside and it works just fine. New v bands from precision, maybe a cut and re weld or 2, and wrap it, and its pretty nice for 500. Its not really a easy bolt on kit though...but then again, its 500. I've got a on3 ball bearing 76 on a ebay hotside with a/c..its not bad

the on3 is a little smaller than a tc-78. The hotside on my car came off of one for tc78. the dp is a 3.5" outlet vs the 3" for the on3, and when i set the DP up to the exh housing it was about 1/2 off (on3 76 exh housing/unit is smaller).

I called modular performance and asked. They said that theyve never tested it and arent sure it would fit but I am gonna test it out when I order the modular hotside
