Default Need some opinions on Redline Motorsports turbo kit

Seems like a good deal.

What kind of turbo do they use?

Is it better than TTi?

All the kits are expensive, I believe STS is the lowest price. Although I dislike the setup of the STS kit [Thats me personally, and I do respect its power]. The price range is upper 6,000 for their normal street turbo for the LS1, a Camaro in Colorado has 600 some odd horses on 10 psi. There is also a Stage 3 turbo kit, larger turbo etc. Go to their website for more details.

I'm hoping to go with this turbo once my engine is fully built. The TTi turbo although clearly works fanatastic from results from users of the turbo, I just would like to try something else [It is also in my state] check out their website, and I hope that helps some.

I really dont understand why everyone keeps saying that all the kits are that expensive. The TTi street kit sells from for $4570 with the t67 turbo. That includes everything minus the injectors, and obviously a tune. I mean 38lb svos can be had for around 350 and ls1edit is 300 plus 100 per hour. Say two hours for the tune, and you get a total of roughly $5420. Personally, I dont think thats expensive, as the STS kit needs a few more 'extras' to get it running optimally, which pretty much comes out to the same prices.

The price for the redline kit is INSTALLED price. It also comes with injectors and fuel pump which would be close to another 6-700 dollars. If you could buy the kit outright minus pump and injectors it would prolly be a lot less.

You're thinking of the t60-1 kit. You have to pay more for the larger turbo. They don't make a t67 to go with thier kit. They make a t76 that is not a true 76, its a 66 housing with a 76 wheel. 38lbs would not be big enough.

The only thing I'm not to keen about the redline kit is the way the downpipe is routed under the K-member.

I heard though that the they where going to an oval pipe under there that would not cause to much problems with clearance. Anyone else heard the same?

Still no track time for there kit though. Dyno numbers are nice but would be better if they let you know what kind of times they are running or atleast what speed they are trapping at.

No John, nothing like the TTi kit. I think there were some pics of the development stages here early last year. I wish Redline had more pictures on their site .

Yeah, Maddboost, I would like some track time also, but I think it is not set up as a track car. Still a before and after would be nice .

I talkd to the owner of Redline. He said that the car that made 651hp is a stock everything car, and that the car was built as a DD. I didn't ask him about Track numbers. The turbo's they use are Precision. They moved up to a bigger turbo because the one before wasn't enough for the power potential that the kit has.

He said that every kit is custom made to your car, so It's seems like a good deal. 7000 is the bottom doller as well.
