still highly recommended.. if im at a high rpm and let off the gas, that throttle blade is still gonna close uber fast.. the pressure has to go somewhere
kit isnt on the car, but im sitting at home waiting for the fedex guy to show up with some more goodies
i have everything i need except gauges, and money for a tune and new exhaust.. so hopefully within a month ill be ready
here is another member with the same kit and a new turbo

kit piping and turbos were holding up great, but his eletrical.... not so much
i guess this problem is not uncommon with the TT corvette PTK corvette setup, he says if he can get an alternator that actually charges he will go back to the kit without a second thought.. he had to use a tiny *** alternator (as do the PTK vette kits) and it would only charge around 11.5volts at idle
he had about 5,000 miles on the turbos and they didnt smoke, or fly apart..

every thing bolted together perfectly, im not sure about the thickness of piping, its the same thickness as mine, so ill have my welder look at it when he weld on my BOV flange to my intercooler piping..
he actually talked to yoskin about his issue, and he recommended an alternator company to go to..
here is a pic of his bracket and alternator
and here is one next to his stocker
and here it is on the car (well one of them, he had to order like 3 different ones)
he does have a TV, navigation, 2 amps and subs , so im sure that may have contributed somewhat
also has alot of LED's
is yoskins PTK or halltech? either way he has a badass car, i guess thats why he can get away with that huge *** pic in his sig lol

Turbonetics Raptor BOV
Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate
Treadstone Performance Oil feed and return line
Silicone couplers and Tbolt clamps
Snow Performance stage 2 Methanol injection kit
my Racetronix Fuel Pump and Harness should be here in a few days (i had no clue they were from Canada)

the pipeing looks good, but i would just be worried about the turbo failling, the a tuning shop here local that has had a lot of problems with the turbos gooing outon kits like this,
but good luck kit looks great
keep the pic's updated as u do the install

No problem!
one fitment issue i ran into is the drivers side hedder..either the first or the last bolt hole is slightly off....so.. i started with the last(farthest bolt first and all line up but the very first hole..so i took hedder back out got a drill widened it and bam! fits,
i wrapped the pipes that criss cross around the driver motor mount with hedder wrap and have had no smoky motor mount as of yet.
i wrapped the turbo(that came with the kit) in a heat blanket type of wrap from advanced auto parts to keep temps down near the back of the radiator (drivers side).
i cut my stock fan shroud unit in half and kept the passsenger fan in place and bought a new one for the front of radiator on the driver side set to push air.
drilled and tapped a return passage w/motor in car
relocating alt bracket -smok'n hawk's here on ls1 tech.
hot wire fuel pump relay and wiring-ebay
fuel pump-ebay
svo green tops - here on ls1tech
small breather filter-advanced a.p.
couplers-ebay
t-bolt clamps-ebay
v-clamps -ebay
universal intercooler piping-ebay
feed and drain lines -ebay
cone k&n type air filter-advanced a.p.
t6 ngk spark plugs- advanced a.p.
pcm4less computer
i've got about 2800 in it total
i've still got a few last details to work out but HEY! i'm currently boosting
pic's soon
