There is a couple of guys over on Corvette Forum that have run them with good results. They come with 3" downpipes now, which is good since they used to be 2.5". It is pretty invasive for an install, but if you don't mind cutting up your car a bit, they seem decent. I would pay a little more for a name brand turbo though. What are your power goals? An ECS blower kit with the Paxton 1500 will do mid 700's with supporting cam and headers. You can pick those up for $5500 and install it yourself in a day or two. If you want more get that kit with a 2200R/YSi.

I had a ttix on my c5 for years they're expensive but worth it . Awesome kit you don't have to modify anything it's like it came from the factory with the kit. But it's extremely hard to put on trust me I know I did mine myself. I'd go with procharger though it'll be alot easier to install and make good power and cheaper than ttix.

Yeah even though I had goodluck with my ttix kit and loved it . A procharger is definitly money well spent on a c5 alot easier to work on . I'd go procharger if I did it again but only on a c5 I turbo everything else I own . Lol!

Same difference. The centri kits for a Corvette haul *** at the track and you can get into them fairly inexpensively compared to a twin turbo build or an Edelbrock supercharger. I think ECS still has one kit left from their holiday sale for $5500. That would be with a Paxton 1500, which is the same as a Vortech T-trim.
