Default guaging interest in twin turbo setups

Just so every one knows, im not trying to sell anything, yet. Im in a position with a friend of mine to get the shop equipment nessesary to build our own twin turbo setups. what i want to know is how many people are realy interested in getting a TT setup. it would cost me about 10K for the shop equipment and i would look for my prices to be about 10-15% above the cost of materials. so it would be budget minded. if people would be interested let me know so i can start planning for an investment if it looks like a good idea.

Nice Username!
I am sure given time you find there are more than enough people that are desiring a QUALITY, RELIABLE, PROVEN TT Kit. And there are penty of them settling for less. I personally would love a TT Kit.
Look at LS1-7s thread about the single kit he is making, it took him about 2months from start to finish to have it all ready. Not that your on a clock, but read the threads and you will find questions to be prepared to answer, like accessories, fueling, oil return, cooling issues, etc etc etc....

I am considering inverted truck manifolds hanging twins, but I havent even seen under my LS1 hood in a year so I need to look into this when i get back. Good luck and keep us in mind.

I'd liove to see a nice TT setup. Something to mate up to my duals would be great. I would consider options like battery relocation and maybe fuse panel relocation as well.

just make sure to make more than just a kit for fbodies. Otherwise your going to have a tough time making an money. I think that you shouldn't worry to much about pricing. Most people that are going to do a turbo, realize that it's expensive and will spend more to get a really high quality kit.

i would definitly be aiming for more than fbody's but they seem to be the ones that are impossible to find a tt setup for, vettes for the right dollar can get a setup from lingenfelter. but fbodys are hard to find. hell i would even make them for trucks call it Turbo Anyhing but seriously if i get to it the shop equipment would be purchased about third quarter this year and the first kit (on my car) would be done by the first of 06 as far as my current time line looks.
