So if i wanted to get the most power out of a turbo set-up i would choose your twin turbo kit. But if i wanted to keep my accessories such as the A/C i would need to chose the single set-up is that correct?

Joel mentioned something to me about making an optional atmospheric dump for the wastegates but I prefer them to exit into the DP's. Is it just me or would the O2's/wideband not get an accurate reading if the WG's dump a good amount of the exhaust gas to atmos.? The O2 bungs are on the DP's at the rear of the engine...
Damn, if I can just get over the loss of the AC *he he he it hasn't even been charged since the new shortblock went in*. Starting to conisder putting together a new low comp 402 LS2 or 408 and getting something like this.
1) I am turbo almost dumb, so... The log is facing forward running into the turbo, the WG is piped back into the downpipe (this is the pipe that will run back under the log to the exhaust? How much room is there when on the engine to replace the plugs?
2) Looks like very little, but could be photography tricks
3) Is there sufficient room to use the stock fans?
4) Any pics of the Alternator relocation bracket mounted on the engine?
Anything else need to be moved, or ditched?
Thanks for the time.

The wastegate pipe is the on that comes off the front of the log. Then it goes to the wastegate and out to the downpipe. That is not in the way off the plugs at all. We built the turbo manifold around the plugs, so you can change tem when the setup is on the car.
We use the stock fans with the kit.
For the ALT we will have pics and more info by the end of the week. It does however sit on the passenger side head.
Noting else needs to be relocated or ditched for the setup. That was our goal, to not have to go threw alot of stuff to put this on. Hopefully you all will enjoy the numbers as long as the price.
Moparnos (The SLP Guy) Thanks!!!
Thanks Joel
I have some interest in this kit.Talking single kit.
Do you think it would clear kenny brown double diamond subframe connectors? I guess downpipe could be tweaked locally if need be.
Also it looks like a very tight fit at sway bar in the one picture.Will it clear a fatter hotchkis front sway bar not sure exact size of my sway bar.
Also you don't mention what the base kit can support at approximately what boost levels although did see the 400 or so rwhp at 5psi.
You are charging the extra 500 plus for various upgrade turbo options or are they same price for most of them when you get intial kit so normally the bigger turbos cost the same as smaller ones except for ball bearing ones and these appear to be no ball bearing and I assume require no water cooling.
Are these garrett or turbonetics.Not a fan of turbonetics more a garrett guy.

The install price had not yet been determined as of yet. I can give you a somewhat idea....it will be around $1000 to $1800. Will have a better idea later this week.
