You can buy the kit now though Innovative. The turbo's it comes with on the tuner kit ($3600?) will get up to like 750hp or so...but the manifolds are a standard t4 flange so depending on the room you have...you could have twin 76's...while still using an on-center housing.

www.innovativeturbo.com

They bought the molds from Banks I believe.

Thery re-ran this show again and I just saw it for the first time. So neither the Banks or Innovative will fit our cars? Is it because it won't fit the LS1 or that it won't fit under the hood? Or both? Seems like an awesome price for the Innovative system. Banks doesn't have pricing on their site. Does anyone know what they are asking for it?

I didn't see the show, but if it's for a SBC motor then it won't fit because the head design is different. The middle ports are close together on a SBC design, while the LS1 is far apart. It also might not fit under the stock hood either, last time I checked and from what I remember, the banks system mounted the turbos up top against the valvecover almost? Correct me if im wrong, this is all by memory.

Here is a post in another forum that I started which has a bunch of info on this kit. I'm quite sure that little if any of this kit would work on a LSx.

hey, thanks for the info...i just saw the show today. i'm a little disappointed in the type of setup they used, with log type manifolds, but it was still a killer show with those killer cars in that lucky guys shop.

thanks,
Dave

i think those manifolds are awesome. banks uses them so there isnt a chance for cracking any welds from the weight of the turbo. they are cast just like any other type manifold. banks makes a lot of power and is a pretty reputable source when it comes to turbos
