hi-flo did it like that but only had a few kits ever make it to customers, other then that and hp you would be looking at a one off setup.

Do some search, google and some other forums.

Long wait and no response or feedback once they get paid. Some had fitment issues. There is some homework to be done before ordering a turbo kit. I learned that the hard way.

even though i am one of the very few that have recieved the OFI kits there is still some things that need to be addressed with the kit.Has things u have to move or get rid of all together.Quality is great but if i had to do it all again i would go with the aps or have a custom built setup

the aps setup is well engineered for the most part and will probably save u a few grand over a custom setup depending on what power level u are looking for.are u dead set on the turbo being where the battery goes, then custom is what u want.

Well not realy set on it, but would be nice! I bought a ebay kit and just hoping it works . Its like the one forced induction makes , and looks just like it.The only problem is I have to put a T6 flange on it for the GT88 turbo.

why is that a problem? if you cant fabricate the t6 flange to it yourself just have soemone do it or just get on ebay and type in t6 turbo, there is a flange on there that adapts a t4 flange to a t6 turbo.
