Copying the Incon TT kit Why hasen't someone done this, seems like it would be simple to copy all the parts from an existing kit. They're out of business so they can't do anything about it.
Do the Incon kits retain A/C?

I was thinking the same thing with custom adaptors made to allow the use of stock manifolds. Does anyone have nice pics of incon setups? If I can get an idea of where things are positioned I wouldnt mind attempting to make adaptors. Hopefully I still have access to my schools machine shop.

Incon manifolds are much different than stock manifolds. Im not saying you cant hang a turbo off of a modded stock one, but no one's every shoved it up there to find out if one would fit I dont think.

I would personally prefer them to work on kits that don't require a scavenge pump. Just my 2c as a possible future turbo kit customer that is not going to run a kit with one ever again.

. Jose can chime in with the details. Its not that he can't , it's just f-body people aren't going to pay the price.With that being said I can't wait to get my kit back.

All I need is for the spring thaw to happen so a freind will pull his ride out of mothballs
I'm thinking about getting some parts from stainless headers and just making and selling headers.. I'll be making one set so why not really perfect the install and make as many duplicates as demand dictates.
4-1 double slip collector flange of buyers choice.. Actually I could also do a 4-2 twinscroll collector too.
I'll also come up with a stout brace that matches the flange to support the turbo system...
If I dont have faith in the design I wont put my name on it.. Which means no logs and no weld on collectors for turbo applications. Double slip only..
IMHO the broad temperature range the manifolds experience from cold to all out floored boosting makes a double slip the only logical choice in anything that is'nt cast. Give it some room to expand and contract then support the weight with something other than the tubes and everything is all
One primary design and just match the collector to the customer... Makes it easy to keep ppl happy...
