so are you going to continue to do just "one off" kits or will you do a mass-produced kit in limited numbers basically? going to do kits retaining a/c and ps and abs and such or just most race only kits? might know a buddy of mine who wants a t6 flanged snail, but florida requires a/c. good luck with the business!

yea, good luck with that. I have a twin kit from John over at TZ, i know you talk with him every once and a while. Mine are mounted low and i hate the scavenge pump. Even mounting low i am having to pull the radiator forward due to the turbos melting the fans. My next move is to get the turbos up higher so they gravity drain. Am curious to see where yours end up and what all needs to be relocated (all my **** is already moved now, haha)

The one off kits are more or less R&R. Such as the twin setup I have going in the shop. I plan to build jigs off of that setup so that I can build it repeatedly. One off setups are somethig I plan to incorparate into the business plan in the future. I really like to be able to build around a customers car, goals, and budget. I have several idea's for setup's that will retain the A/C, PS, and ABS. It just takes time to see them through.

Twin setups are a pain to package, but the end result is worth the effort. The initial plan with the car inhouse was to section the radiator much like my car to allow the room for the twins. I am goinf to try to keep from that, but it is a very real option for the setup.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Just to give a little info on Josh, he's really a good guy and will shoot the **** on the phone forever. So it will be a challange to pull him off the phone. I look forward to helping you guys out. I use to work at TEA and did sales/customer service from there. There is still LOTS of work to be done with getting everything ready. Be on the lookout for a GP on some products. We will also probably do a special on our turbo kits, not a GP, but just an introductory special of some sort. As soon as we get my number and email up I will post that information for you. We will be looking for a few mules to test some parts on so look for some upcoming specials.

Sounds good...You should do a GP selling 25 kits....when do you think you can have them done? Next week? Maybe 10 days?

JK, good luck guys

That could be wicked. I am almost 100% sure the 6.0L manifflods and crossover pipe will pretty much drop in a LS1 fox body.

That we are looking into. Hopefully I will have some ideas, a R&R GTO from a customer and a new setup to follow. I am working hard on a T4 twin setup for the F-Body right now in the shop.

O it can be done and I have been thinking about it for a while.

Single 88MM turbo right behind the 2 nose grills would be insane. You would need 2 single radiators on each side and a bigger intercooler. Can you tell I have been things about it Look on Tim Lynch's mustang you will see what I am talking about.

It can be done I am sure
