Default Anyone still running an OFI kit?

I've been away from the game for a bit and was curious if anyone is still running the OFI turbo kit. I have one of their rare T6 kits that I'm debating on either selling or finishing the build

I'm running the radiator (awesome piece), but running my own fans in a puller setup. Still have the pushers that came with it and debating on whether to add one to the front or not. I'm not running A/C because I cant see a clean way to mount a condensor. That being said I wish I would have mad a DP to run out the passenger side. Mine is a 5" necked to 3.5" and it was a pain in the *** to run past my solid motor mount, had to cut my bellhousing (4L80e) and my steering shaft rubs. Other than that it's a badass setup.

Wow. I see a/c, and a huge turbo. That is great. Look forward to seeing that running.

I actually pulled the compressor off after I got it in the car but I may put it back later on. Thanks for the kind words bro. It does run good even on a shitty base tune, pushed water last week so I'm swapping studs in & LS9 head gaskets then gonna put it on the dyno in the next couple weeks. I'll post up some vids soon after.

Well my brother and I just bought a brand new OFI kit with S91 Turbo
a friend bought years ago and didnt install it .

Everything included with their radiator and fans as soon as we finish the Turbo ZO6 setup we're starting the work on 408ci S91 setup

The kit is awesome too bad the company went under..
