Honestly, we currently have 4 systems on order from LS1tech members, so nobody has real experience with our systems yet...at least anyone on this forum. The truck kit is done but at the coater. Another 2 kits are twin kits and soon to be finished...within 2 weeks. A 4th is on order for a big single and just came off the jig. I can post pics of that one later.

Our kits are made with simplicity and effectiveness in mind. They are simple to bolt on and effective (both form and function) in design. We pride ourselves on the fact that we can replicate our kits quickly and efficiently with our jigs. This way, the turn-around time is decent for the buyer. As an example, our single turbo kit for GM trucks can be replicated in a matter of 6 hours. Besides waiting on coaters, which we also do here locally, producing the kits is fast.

Other than that, we are always here and always return phone calls, e-mail and PM's within the same business day...if not sooner.

Go with GMR, it's a no brainer. All of their kits have put out excellent #s on pump and is very affordably priced.

Default Get An Incon Kit If You Can Find One.

I was lucky enough to find a brand new stage 3 kit. Incon went out of business a couple years ago, but they had the most complete kit available then or now. You get to keep your ac, and your alternator isn't relocated. If you can find one you will have found the holy grail of bolt-on turbo kits.

I just finished driving from Atlanta to Chicago and back to take ownership. ~Joshua

Here's a couple pics...



Most bags were numbered by the previous owner so I can identify the items according to the instructions.

Get a custom speed inc set up! That's the way I went and though it isn't finished I am gitty over the potential and what others set ups look like from them. They know what they are doing and put up good numbers not just on a dyno but at the track too. The only downside is the price, they aren't cheap but you get what you pay for no matter how you look at it. Talk to Tom he will set you up nicely!

For a single turbo kit, I can have a hot side done in 1/2 day. Give me a call if you have other questions. Thanks!

Speed does a NICE job. They could build you just what you want. If you told Jim you wanted the turbos in the glove box he could do it! Good luck.
