There are still several companies.

Turbotech makes a kit almost exactly like the QMP single turbo kit. They also have a full race kit with tubular headers.

Redline motorsports has a turbo kit also, but I believe you need to send your car to them to have it installed.

Also, QMP is coming out with a twin turbo kit soon.

There are also a couple of other companies that will soon be releasing kits.

That sounds good, i thought that qmp was done with the turbos. What are the advantages/disadvantages of twin/single turbo kits? I imagine that the twin kit would be more expensive and little more complicated...

Not even close! They just stopped doing Single turbos because they were coming out with there Twin Turbo System. Saw it on the GM 427R TT car they did (which there doing 2 more for GM). AWSOME!!! Pics were out on it.
Its little more pricier then the single. But well worth it! Email Rob. He will give the details. TUrbos are good for 1200hp. Will be getting mine back in a 3 to 4 weeks .

If you can't get a hold of Rob anytime soon (he's pretty busy and misses e-mails a lot ) then PM me and I can fill you in on what Rob has told me about his twin kit... price wise.
