Default LS1 Turbos Dead?

I noticed that no one sells the turbo kit for LS1 anymore. What happened? I was interested in either the Turbo Technolgy Single kit or Incon's twin turbo kit? (leaning to TT) But I don't see them anymore. What is the deal?

Incon is having trouble with money and delivery. They still need to deliver ls1 kits (probably around 20 still), Mustang 5.0 (not sure how many) and 4.6 kits that they have deposit for. Even if they pull through and deliver everything, it will be hard for them to stay in business because of all the bad press.

I'd get an LS1 Motorsports TT kit when they come out. Rob Raymer has done a lot work with the TT stuff and I bet it will fit great and be straightforward to install.

At this point I would recommend Rob Raymer single turbo kit even though it is not out yet and is un proven. Dont get me wrong the Incon kit rocks just hope everyone gets there kit me included.

red ws6 99, Incon has 90% fo their business overseas so i dont think they will " Go out of business". This stuff just makes things harder on the office here that carries the kits for the 5.0s and the LS1s. Besides if they were to get back on track with deadlines...their kits absoloutly kick @ss. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Well I have been a pretty good supporter of Incon, dont bad mouth them to much. I cant find a heck of lot on Incon business overseas. A truck or two at most. Anyway I had hopes for them when Tom said he would ship me the rest of my kit minus CHRAs. Then it would be everything, but a few brackets and stage II computer. Well all Tom sent me was manifolds and dump tubes and the exhaust sides of the turbo housing. So I stil need y-pipe, compressor side of the turbo housings, scavenge tanks, actuators, and a few brackets. Since I went ahead bought a set of CHRAs, I am a little more unhappy than usual now.
