LS1 Turbo Gen tt f-body kit Ok after 3 pages of just to the top replies I'm starting a new thread with a full description of the kit and pictures of the kit as well. The kit is as follows:
The kit is new and uninstalled. The kit is a gen tt kit from LS1 Turbo. It is one of the 20 kits they had on a special when they first built them. It does have the bigger turbos included in the kit which was part of the sale they were running. The kit has everything that is needed to put a full functioning turbo kit on the car. It has: all mounting hardware for the intercooler and of course the intercooler which is a good sized intercooler, all piping and silicon couplers for the intercooler piping as well as the piping to come from the intercooler to connect to a ls1/ls6 intake, midpipes, cast exhaust manifolds w/heat shields, two 62lb/min turbos (rated at 620hp each) the specs on the turbo are 61mm on the inlet and 81.7mm on the outlet of the compressor side and the turbine side has a a/r of .72, all feed lines and drain lines for the turbos as well as all the fittings required to hook them up, all clamps, nuts, bolts, gaskets to join the turbos from the manifolds to the mid pipes to the turbo flanges, airfilters for the turbos as well as the piping for the intake of the turbos to the airfilters, two blow off valves (which sound mean in firehawk123's video I might add) and the complete instructions for the install which includes pictures and explaination. I have a link of a video that I will include of a user (firehawk123) that is on the forum who did a write up on the ls1tech board. It has a dyno of his kit which is the exact same as mine and a video of him ripping gears off under a overpass to show what the bov's sound like. It is freakin awesome. I've heard that the kit has been installed on STOCK engines (with bolt on's of course) that made over 600+hp to the tires at 8psi and Jassim (firehawk123) made 912hp/849ftlbs of torque on a built 402 at 18psi. So you can see that this kit is whatever you want it to be. If you want a daily driver that flat out hauls the mail at a VERY modest boost setting or you want a kit that is capable of numbers around the 1k mark this kit will do it. The turbos have a good sized a/r on the exhaust side so it won't choke down a larger cubed engine but they aren't so dang big that it causes a turbo lag problem. They have a video on the net somewhere that shows them doing some passes at the track and they flat out annihilate the tires through first gear right off the line and spin through 2nd and 3rd as well. J-Rod (who is one of the main contributers on the board) went to the track to actually do some testing on the kit to give some real world proof as to the kits capability. The only thing the kit requires to be installed is an upgraded fuel system (which you have to have any time you increase hp) and a bmr k member to fit the kit on the car (which will net you a good amount of weight savings over the stock piece not to mention making life a lot easier under there when you work on the car). Outside of those 2 things the kit requires absolutely nothing else to be installed. The turbo exhaust flange is a 3" v band and exits in the same location as a set of hooker longtubes or similar headers so the good news is if you need to use a y-pipe/ stock style catback exhaust you can do so. If you have a true dual set up then you would have to modify it a little but I doubt you'd have to do anything out of the ordinary. You KEEP your a/c in it's stock location, the alternator stays in it's stock location and you don't have to delete the abs like you do on other systems. I bought the kit for 4995 and I'm selling it for 4000 dollars + shipping. I can do a paypal deal if you like but you'll have to come up with the fees that paypal requires. I also have a shipping quote all figured out so if you would pm me or email me your zip I can do a shipping quote. The kit would be coming out of Wyoming (82716) and the kit weighs 134lbs. Two boxes will be shipped and one will be 36x16x16 and the other is 16x16x14. I will only ship insured just cause the amount of money we're dealing with and I don't want anything to happen to the kit. Here is the link to the dyno/bov video: http://s180.photobucket.com/albums/x...t=2c754a39.flv
If you have any other questions or need more pics just let me know and Thanks again.

Very strongly considering pulling the trigger on this. I just need to know if the turbos will go in with a UMI RR K-member. I wouldn't think its much bigger. Another thing that my be putting people off is that you can go to the web and buy it for a little more with a credit card. A lot of people don't have 4K layin' around. 
So just to confirm, there is no cutting required for this kit? Even the APS kit requires a little bit...
