A couple have been made. Since the C5 doesn't leave a lot of room for a big single turbo kit, they have not done well with them. Most have gone SC or TT. Check the CF.

If bang for the $ is what you're looking for, you might check out the new STS TT kit or an A&A Procharger kit.

Not enough room for a good single. The STS kit will be priced right with out the Corvette premium. The TT ZO6 I've driven was a screamer!

I" have never even heard of a single turbo c5 kit. There is precious little room in there and it is AMAZING to see how they package teh twins. I dont see how it si possible to get a good sized single in there. GL

Cerra made a single LS1 C5 turbo kit. Nice little kit and you can fit up to a 76GTS on it with some modding.

I forgot to say that Earl H on this board has the Cerra kit with a 76GTS. You can ask him the mods he did to get the unit to fit.

Suffice it to say that not everything is always what it seems. My car makes 740rwhp on pump gas/meth.injection at 15lbs. and has run like a champ since I have owned it. I think I've taken the kit about as far as I can without moving up from a 3" dp. I could probably make more power with more boost and race gas but quite simply, I prefer to try to fit a larger (3.5 - 4" dp) in there.

I am using all of the orignal hot parts from the Cerra Kit (only change ic setup and actual turbo). Btw, that same owner (the guy that had problems with Cerra) is now having problems with flp also (I don't pretend to know what is going on with John and FLP). Too bad about the Cerra kit really, because that kit with a few minor tweaks can/does make monster power and could be reproduced for under $7.5K with fuel system upgrades. Oh well, it allows me to be unique, I guess.
