Incon is out of business, so the only way that you can pick up one of their kits is:
-buy a used kit from someone that has a complete one
-buy an uncomplete new kit from someone that never got all of the pieces and put one together.

Personally, I would just look for someone selling a used kit.

Does LPE charge an arm and a leg compared to the icon cost though?

There is one turbo company here in Tulsa that is very small called KBS turbo. They had one on an LT1 that made over 550rwhp at like 10 psi. They also make them for the 3.8 liter. The owner just bought a 98 Z28 to begin building a turbo for the LS1. He said if i sold my QMP kit he would sell me his turbo and all the parts needed for around 3,000. He also said he would do the installation and tuning for free. So if you want to hold out they will probably have a kit on the market soon and he claims it will sell for 3000 to 4000 and match any turbo performance kits out on the market right now.

www.kbsturbo.com the site really doesnt have much yet.

His number is 918-409-2772. If you call them ask for Bryan Smith and tell him Corry recommended you.

Yea, I checked them out a while ago. The price looks right, very competitive. Hopefully it will be a nice "streetable" design, when all is said and done. I just hope their design does not run anything under the k-member. Im waiting to see pics installed on the car. My fingers are crossed.

The kit will not run under the crossmember...hehe. It will be full 1 3/4 headers, 3" DP, 2 1/2 crossover all coated and will allow for use up to a PTE76GTS or GT80R with Tang V housing on either. Kit will be rated around 1200hp or so.

There is room for a crossover in between the motor mount and the block on the driver side if you move the alt up to where the QMP/TTi have it... i think this is where PTK is running theirs from the looks of the LT1 kit. I know it made some awesome numbers on a Lt1.... i can only imagine the possibilities on a Ls1.

Yes they made over 450rwhp/500rwtq on a bone stock LT1, with nothing other then the kit as mods.
