Default turbo k member

How many folks run a turbo k member? Is it essential with certain setups or will most of the tubular k members work

It really depends on the setup you go with the biggest issue is the clearance for routing a downpipe back through the K. I'm running a PTK turbo kit with a TC78 turbo and am still retaining the stock k-member.

Get the Mid West Chassis K-member. it's not a "turbo" K-member but from what I read itll fit a 5" down pipe. I got it for weight reduction as I'm going to be running an S400 with a 5" DP out of the side of the bumper

Ok thanks I'll look it up. Just curious, I've seen that turbo mentioned a lot which means its pretty good or cheap lol. How much hp is it capable of

The new DKT/bmr one will fit a 5" plus.

I believe each side will fit a 5" downpipe on the DKT/BMR one if you really want to go *****-out.
