Default Twin kit I have been working on...

Sorry for the poor picture quality. It's something I've started building to pass the time.... Two GT3586r turbos (basically a GT35 with an upgraded compressor wheel and ported housing) with Tial 1.03 stainless vband in/out turbine housings, two 44mm wastegates, AMS 1000 etc etc etc. I haven't decided on what I want to do for the motor in this car yet, probably big bore small stroke...

I am most likely going to uses a sleeved LS2 block but I haven't decided who to have sleeve it, probably RED or ERL. I would love to have one of the ones we sleeved at MTI. If I did use an aftermarket block it would be the RHS. It is retarded to use a LSx block in a street car, I think we talked about that when you stopped by the shop. Unlesss you have a one armed monkey tuning your car, lifting the heads isn't an issue on any amount of power you will use on the street.

Lingenfelter (LPE) has been mounting turbos like that for 10+ years...

Chris, I know where you can get one of the MTI blocks.

It was the one that DJ had in his Camaro years ago.

I thought about it as well, I already have an LSX under the hood but you live an learn. RHS would've been the way to go but wasn't out when I was building. Good luck though Bro.

The majority of the kits ie APS, TTIX are block hugger kits. Only a few have ventured to put them out in the fenders

I am by far not the first LPE, Dallas Performance are a couple names that come to mind when thinking of people that actually build their own kits instead of just bolting one on.

Not the old school sleeved LS1 blocks, the newer LS2 ones were a totally different design.
