Yes, the pipes are over the K.

Fellas, just so you know, his truck hasn't been here for that long. It was at another shop, now a non-sponsor. Back to my movie...

That ecostreet kit with an alky control system and T67 turbo would be an awesome budget kit with a superfast spool

Thanks Chrispy - we appreciate all the compliments. The Eco-Street kit includes everything sans turbo & wastegate. Yes, we can tool the up pipe for alky, if the customer wants that.

The truck manifolds are cheap and readily available. Therefore, they do NOT come with the kit. This keeps the overall cost down.

A PT-67 runs $1300 new, there are a few other options there as well. It definately would make a nice budget street kit.

edit: ED - the kit DOES come with an IC, no turbo. This allows the customer to choose their turbo according to their budget...or even buy a used turbo, if they wish.

No, sorry for the misunderstanding. The Eco-Street kit that Chrispy is speaking of does NOT come with an IC. This is why he's talking about an Alky kit for it and having a provision for the injection.

The Street-Zone kit DOES come with an Intercooler and will support up to 700hp. Otherwise you are correct.

Ed - no, the kit is not just "some piping". The kit contains CNC cut 3/8" steel flanges for the exh. manifolds and the turbo flange (T3, T4, or yes T6); V-band assemblies; V-band clamps; 02 sensor bungs; mandrel bent tubing; W/G and/or BOV flanges welded in; Silicone couplers; T-bolt clamps; oil supply line; oil drain line, etc. Then you have welding consumables to factor in, the time involved in R&D of the kit, and the time to build each kit.

To answer your other questions, yes we could weld on a T6 flange but our kit is not designed around that large of a turbo. The largest we have fit is an 80-82 and should have a 88 on the way to test fit. We would like to see if the larger GT series will fit and they should.

For those STILL ASKING, "well, how can I make the most power with this kit and a why would I need a T6 flange?" Well, if you wanted to move up and make more power than a regular T-80 or 82, then you could move into the GT series, such as a GT4780, GT4782, a GT4785 or big daddy GT4788. These will make 1300, 1400, 1475 and 1500hp respectively.

Any other questions, please call...just don't call during the weekend.

I am wondering........

1. Can you keep the stock fans?
2. Where is the waste gate piece on your pipe from the manifolds to the turbo?
3. What would it cost and how would it be different to get keep the AC?

get me som - the turbo is supported by a support bracket. The kit in the pictures is on a '99 Formula. I'm not sure what you mean - "have you done this on a F-body?"

Dblue - yes, stock fans are fine. The kit pictured is going on a customer car whom is using an internally regulated turbo. The kit, when applicable, has the provision for a W/G. The single kit to retain A/C is $4500 and includes tubular headers.

Not currently. I will only post pics of finished kits. I can guarantee you they look just as nice as the kit posted above. Thanks.

Good info John. Is that kit with the a/c on your website or elsewhere that you may have pictures for? It includes tubular headers, connecting pipe, down pipe and waste gate connection. How is the plug/wire access with the tubular headers, if you have that information right now?

I assume then that the waste gate is dumped to the atmosphere and not into the down pipe?

Oil lines are provided correct? Where do the oil lines go on the block or is that up to us to decide(basically asking if that's been mapped out yet).

Anything else that I am missing that is included in your kit? Don't mean to be bogging you down with questions, just that there are people out here that want to know. Any and all information that can be provided would be great, hence why I ask. I'm up in the air about which way I want to go with my car, so I'm asking as many questions as possible right now, I hope you don't mind.
