ALSO, i will not be using thin cheap grade materials, it will be mild steel schedule, it will last, wont crack and will be able to hold a decently sized turbo.
if you want schedule 10 stainless or schedule 40 if your trying to hang a single 91mm or bigger then just PM me and we can get something going.

Im curious to know if you run the stock computer/ ignition(opti) on your current setup. Maybe I missed it.. Can you maybe post a pic of a mockup of a car with A/C? Im sure if you build it.... They will come.....3500 seems good but we all know How the Bolt Right in Goes....LOL![Bash](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/bash.gif)

Hell, Jordan Musser was making big numbers way back in the day with turbos. The LT1 crowd is obviously more budget minded, but there's plenty of owners out there that have the cash and want to stick with the ole LT1.
LT1boost makes a nice setup, no doubt, but more options are always nice.

LT1 boost kits are nice, and come with a price tag. The only reason I havent gone turbo is the price of the kit and opting for forged internals along with it. That **** adds up real quick. Then tuning and on and on and on.......................

Rebuilding for a modest fee is cool, but if you say its free people will be sending you their turbos every two months for a rebuild cuz they went with the cheapest chinese ebay turbo they could find.
Cool idea, but keep in mind the market is very small.

$1300 for a hotside, seems cheap to me?
Just saying the options are already out there, and again...how many turbo LT1 cars do you see online or in real life?
Not many, prob maybe less than a dozen.

Trust me, you don't want to open that can of worms.

If I didn't already mill the **** out of my heads for more compression I probably would have bit the bullet and went turbo eventually.

if you really want to do this, forget the 4k+ market, you'll sell 3-4max is my guess.
If you want to follow the budget side, I think you gotta go denmah simple and do this for 500 or less. Get the truck manifolds facing forward used, make your hotside setup and call that done. Once you get enough people buying them, you can take the 1-off orders for the 4-5k stuff. but IMO, you don't have many LT1 cars left that people really want a new kit in that price range.
