That's retty nice looking. I like the turbo placment, it's out of the way for teh most part and isn't putting a ton of heat to amy major wiring or anything.

I think that Redline had a turbo kit that put the turbo in the same place, but I don't know if anyone on here has that kit or not, or if they are even still in business/making that kit for that matter.

Details on the setup.. motor spec's, turbo size, fuel system, and results please......

Motor is stock. exception of 6.0 heads.. patriot dualspring valve spring..Arp head and connecting rod bolts... Comp cam custom grind to Hi-flo's secret specs.. dual roller timing chain, ls6 ported oil pump... Borla xr-1 exhaust.. ls6 intake.. going for a 2bar speed density setup.. Stc aluminum flywheel and clutch

turbo is a 70.5 Garret build to Hi-Flo's secret specs.. they're gonna try it with a/r of .68.. to see how soon they can get the torque to come up... f it turns out to be too small .. they'll just swap exhaust housings... Dual catch can setup..

Fuel system... all I know is 65lb injectors.. I dont know about the rest.. We'll see if Bill or Marko will chime in on that..

I think thats it..

Why don't more people mount their intercoolers like that? It looks like a great alternative to hacking up the front of a Trans Am bumper.
It looks awesome BTW, can't wait to hear what kind of numbers it puts down.

I have a question when are the turbo kits going to be sent out? I have a friend who has been waiting for four or five months. Are you the only one to get a kit yet? Really needing some answers. Thanks
