Yes, like that. Are those S or H covers? looks bigger than "S". Are those 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet? BTW, got the pic and I was actually thinking of doing something similar to those pedestals, having them standing straight up like that is the only way I could think of how to clear the 4" inlet on S-covers. Anyway, I really do like that. Do they bolt on or weld on and can you purchase just the pedestals?

You're making me want to sell my procharger and do this same setup. I love it man. Nice work. If I decide to sell, do you think a pair of these would work on a 408 in my car? Its the 11532 with a t3 flange and .82 ar. Thanks, Josh

BMR made the kmember. DKT makes the mounts. I would guess u can order them separate. Have to ask DKT. Lol. Mine came with.
But they bolt on. I know my kmember is custom for the DKT aps upgrades. But it looks a lot like the BMR sbc/bbc kmember.

I have a scavenge pump for it, I have it mounted underneath next to the driver's side downpipe, you could see it in one of the pics. Honestly, I would just go ahead and install a scavenge pump if I were you with this twin setup, when I first started out with my old twin kit I just gravity drained it, but it ended up ruining the seals. I could actually see a line inside when I took it apart where a hot oil left a marked when it backed-up.

The turbine housing looks like they have the same scroll size as a t4, but with a t3 footprint/inlet flange, and it says that it has the S-cover compressor, so that would take little bit more work to make it fit co'z it has a 4" inlet vs the 3" for the E-cover and the overall outside diameter would also be little bit bigger. So, it would work, you know how they say...."If there's a will, there's a way". . In my case... I'm just too cheap and poor to pay a speedshop, so I gotta make a way.

Absolutely awesome work so far. Your kit has alot of similarities to the APS design, which is a good thing, in my opinion. I will be really interested to see how your cold side comes out. Again, nice job!

Honestly they were a no body that became a somebody with the release of the APS precision upgrades.

Just google them or look on here. There is a few post popping up in this section.

Nothing yet. Progress has been really slow due to lots of hours at work lately, so I could only work on it on week-ends. Anyway, I got the motor back together and the tranny bolted onto it yesterday. Like I said it's going really slow, but it'll get there.

I'm in to see this, I am looking for what to do next to my car and want to go turbo but don't want to lose AC and this would be a great way to go. That kit looks really damn good, this was the route I wanted to go.

Looks great so far! Im not trying to be critical, but if I can make a suggestion I think you are going to want to build a heatsheild for your starter.
