Cerra was a shop that made a C5 single turbo kit a few years ago. Earl, one of the posters on this board, has one and makes over 700 rwhp with stock cubes.
I think it would be great if someone could get a single turbo on the market for $5K.

Can't wait to see some results. I've been in the market for quite some time for FI on my low CR408. It's just everytime I'm about ready to pull the trigger, my car has issues. I'm finally there and ready to buy. I hope this deal works out!

wow that would be awsome a kit with no vette tax 
what size is that up-pipe/ y-merge. is that 3", it seems a git bit.
might gain some clearance if you switched to 2.5", heck there are guys making 1500hp with a 2.5" merge.
nice kit very inovative.
but ya id hate to change those spark plugs. Hopefully the downpipe is as easily removable as you said.

Based solely on pics of this kit and having seen the Cerra kit in person (both uninstalled and installed) I can say they are not similiar at all. The Cerra kit was a very basic (and quite frankly ugly) Log manifold setup that made the QMP kit look like a work of art. This setup... while it looks like you will have to relocate many more items also is a much better design from a power producing standpoint.

Unlike the camaro, the corvette has many more space constraints to battle. the only thing that we can tell that some people may not like is we had to modify one hole on the A/C compressor in order to keep a 3 inch downpipe. i will post pictures of this modification a little later. we also moved the bottom radiator/air dam support forward about 4 inches for clearance of the turbo and charge pipe. the kit will come with a tial 50mm BOV and a Tial 46mm waste gate that will vent to the down pipe. we dont have this in the pictures but it will be right at the collector at the turbo.
the base kit will more than likely come with a .5 bar spring and a manual boost controller with an optional electric unit. the intercooler has a 24*12*3 core that will support 850 HP. the tubing will be mildsteel coated inside and out with the option of stainless steel. we hope to have the kit done in about two weeks and then we will start the testing on the track, street and dyno.
below are a few pictures of the kit. within the next week or two there will be more pictures with the coated pipes and the charge pipes.
thanks

Scott, if you go edit the pricing for the Vette guys, to include the Vette Premium/Tax, then you could make it even more affordable for us F Body guys j/k to the vette owners...
Very nice looking setup and will be watching this one as well.
