We have not yet installed the kit, but everything has arrived in 2 shipments after about a 6 month wait.
WHen he was patient and didn't call the place everyday... nothing was sent. We haven't put the stuff on the car and it would be nice if it came with a program/chip, calibrated MAF or FMU, but it doesn't. He has the stage 2x kit.
I don't know what it is about turbo companies being such strokers... but like I said. They cut him some decent breaks for his time.

Re: what would you pay for this ? To supplement, what the people need is a turbo company run by someone with a legitimate business background, Who can deliver with no empty promises. If there was a turbo kit out there put together by the description above, I'd have that instead of a procharger.

Re: what would you pay for this ? Thats funny if you look on the net TDC turbodrivenconcepts has a worse reputation than Incon does for delivery.
As stated anybody can build a turbo kit, whats required for a excellent turbo kit is engeering and lots of R&D. I have not seen a turbo kit for the ls1 yet (Turbo Tech and Incon) that have these two things covered. The Incon kit is mostly a bunch of parts that sorta work together sometimes, dont get me wrong its 1000 times better than the Turbo Tech kit. Hopefully the LS1 motorsports kit will be good.
So far from the discussion with EvilTwistedTwins it will take a long time to do some Engineering and R&D. Just for example, when I asked about needing custom compressor housings, turbine housings. I dought that the standard housings will work with our setup. Once you do a few months research on everything that will be needed for a Twin Turbo kit, come back with pricing and we will see how much the kit price increases. I would be willing to bet the price of the kit doubles, then probably it will increase once some R&D is done. Not knocking you, but just the price of parts will be more than you already estimated.

Re: what would you pay for this ? I agree with red WS6 and everyone that has concerns about buying an unproven kit. There are a lot more things to consider than bolting up a couple of turbos to an LS1 to get it to work reliably. Maybe people would be more interested in your kit if you gave us a background on your turbo expertise and general automotive knowledge.
What kind of suppliers do you have setup to insure delivery of orders. What kind of warranty will the kit/parts have? If something does go wrong with the kit what recourse will the people who bought it have if any.
Not trying to rain on your idea, but if I was going to drop that amount of money on my car, I would like to see a solid business plan.
