don't forget a good drive train....I love seeing guys buy nice turbo kits and have no way to get that power to the ground and when they finally do... snap. FYI from past experience Before you spend a good portion of your cash make sure your clutch,drive shaft, transmission, differential and axles are up to par on your new found power.. Awhile ago I was about to buy a pro charger d1sc for my corvette. Before I pulled the trigger on it I took it to the strip that day to get some last stock times in.. 2nd gear syncro went out and cost me about 3gs + core for the rpm lvl5 with the bells and whistles. I could of got a stock transmission and purchase the pro charger kit until I did research on the alsome c6 drive train and found out how weak it is

Okay heres all the things they didnt tell you. You need turbo headers or manifold. Lines to feed the turbos,return lines from turbos. Bigger or more fuel pumps, bigger fuel lines depending on power. Fuel pressure regulator. If your running 2 pumps are you gonna run one on a hobbs switch so you dont wear your regulator out. Are you gonna run methanol, are you gonna run a wide band. Are you gonna run a boost controller, are you gonna run a catch can?

Gosh what else did i miss. Some one else will pick up.
