C5 turbo kit
C5 turbo kit Buddy of mine is looking to go FI in his 98 C5. He wants to go SC but I'm trying to push him towards turbo. Does anyone besides Huron and TT make either a single or twin kit? The price is the biggest factor in a kit and I'm just unaware of any decent priced turbo kits for the C5.
you could build it for him? lol.
All jokes aside, i've been digging around too for a friend, i'll just build his for him if i can find something someone has done already that we both like.

I gave him this option but it's a time thing. He is impatient and wants something he can bolt up and go.
I've seen the upps kit, I like that one but damn 6k is pricey. He is looking for something in the 3k range. Those ats kits are nice too but rear mount = no thanks. I've been waiting for ON3 to come out with a kit but it doesn't look like they are making any progress with the C5's.

Strongly advise against the Hinson kit. It has massive fitment issues and you essentially have to custom make everything else. I had one, took it off before I even fired up the car and sent it back.
IMO: you wont find a turbo kit for a c5 for $3k and even then it wouldnt include everything necessary to run it. UPP's kit is great for the price!

why not just pick a ON3 performance single turbo or a borg warner and use 6.0 truck manifolds and fabricate the rest of the piping.. Get a general Intercooler and make it fit some how? Doesnt seem like THAT much work. And would probably be around 3k if you paid for fab work.
Have you looked at the Hinson kit? http://www.hinsonsupercars.com/p-44-...turbo-kit.aspx

$1k turbo
$500 IC
$1500 in piping and random crap like gaskets/couplers
I wouldn't expect the kit to be "complete" but don't see why someone couldn't come up with a kit that met those requirements.

In a perfect world people dont pay for labor to weld all the materials or the R&D I guess :p
not doing a turbo c5 for 3k. Not a good one anyway. If you did all the work yourself and used super budget parts maybe. But it will not perform like a well built setup. If your looking for budget boost used blower kit.
