Default started my PTK LS1 Turbo Install

I am installing the PTK kit right now
the design on this kit and the fit is really nice considering what they had to work with
who ever complains about what you pay for a nice kit for a LS1 car that goes over the K-Member has not really looked at what they had to work with
when you look at the kit and start the install you will think "there aint no way this will fit" but it does with a little " less than 1/2 inch" to spare
I am running a Stock engine for now with a precision T-67 and air to air
going to finish the install by monday night I hope and should have dyno results by the end of the week I hope
keep in mind that All I am running is 7 Pounds of boost for now so the numbers will not be really high

Congrats! Can't wait to see some numbers out of that kit! Should be pretty similar to mine (if not more) at 7#'s.

HA HA when you start to do your install I will sell you the Photos for about $1000.00 or so and after a week or so you would be glad to pay me that for them




JK
but when you get ready to do your install let me know and I will give you some really good info

also for anyone else here who is doing one because It does not have instructions and they will tell you "it is just like a set of hedders" BULL ****
but it does go together and everything fits but expect to take 5 or so good days to do it and you really need a lift if you have access to one


but all Smartass commets aside it is a great kit but it could really use some instructions

Well, unless you have a lay-away plan, I don't think I can afford those pics after all the money I've been spending on odds and ends.

I'm happy to hear about the quality. Sounds like a tight fit, huh! Have fun, bro!

Oh, and TTT for the pics!
