Default Which forced induction option.

I’m interested in forced induction and have explored several roots that’ll be suitable with my needs. First I need a clean installation, so single turbo is not for me. I’ve tried to contact APS dealers but seems that the twin turbo kit is not available anymore. This leaves me with centrifugal procharger as the only option. There inlet box certainly wont work with my stock (LT1 SS) hood. Can there kits be mixed, like is it possible to get the LS1 kit with the LT1 intercooler setup.

I know it doesn't list LT's on there but at the the top it also says common configs, so your best bet would be to call them! Speed inc does fast, real F@#$in fast

According to speedinc the APS twin turbo kit for the LS1 was discontinued years ago. Maybe another option is to wait for the TTi kit to come out.

Look at the huron speed set ups, you cant get cleaner than that for a front mount.
Modular turbo makes a clean twin kit as well.

Our twin kit is pretty insane.

We are going to be shipping a few kits to saudi arabia in a few months if you want to get into one we could set it up.

Well, cutting the upper support to stand up the radiator and than sticking the big turbo in a clear and visible location. I like the subtle appearance, and not into insane power gain, 650 whp is enough, hence why I'm leaning towards centrifugal.

That's an very nice kit, very clean install and compete, but sadly out of my budget.

our single kit doesnt require cutting the support, and the radiator stays in the stock location. right now we have a "special edition" available, that has an aluminum cold side. it looks super clean, subtle, not over the top. with our kit all you see when you pop the hood is the charge pipe coming from the driver side fuse box area in front of the inner fender area. IMO its very clean. you should check it out, we are offering a pretty good deal on it.
