Default Where to get custom twin turbo kit made in CA

Is there any shops around the Bay Area that can make a custom twin turbo kit for a LS engine in a 68 camaro?

Looking for something for a show car.

PM me if you know someone. Thanks

Based on what I've seen from them, they are top dollar.

I saw your truck when I was getting my TA tuned not too long ago. Looks (and I bet performs) incredible! Damn clean truck!

I have a kit built for a big T6.... easily convert to twins if you want the bling. All s/s material. I'm in Concord.

$2500

It is made from all S/S construction and is BEEFY. 3/8" thick LS exhaust port flanges with 1 3/4" primaries into a 2.5" collector. The ID on the primaries is 1 3/4" and it then meets at a 3" ID collector Vband (it is actually smaller with the collector tubing welded in there closer to 2 5/8"), then the 2 5/8" crossover tubing meets at a 3" Vband (2 5/8" ID tubing) that meets up at a 1/2" thick T6 collector. Driver side crossover has a braided flex section added in. The wastegate plumbing is setup for a 60mm WG.

I have a Tial 60mm WG for $500 if you want it.

Downpipe is 4.5" ID (5" Vband) that reduces down to 4" all the way to the firewall. The WG is plumbed to dump back into the downpipe with Vbands. Will not fit a/c in the stock location. Dark-One has been running his original version of the kit for over a year with no issues (no cracked piping or anything).

With a built motor.... sky is the limit pretty much.
A 4" downpipe can support 1600hp+.


This was built for an LSx powered Mazda RX-7; however the cavernous size of a Camaro engine bay I'm sure would swallow this up no problem. Downpipe would most likely need some reworking; however it is designed to pass by where the a/c compressor was....

shouldnt the welds look like nickels stacked on top of each other or is that only when its TIG'd?

Do you have anything else besides manifolds and wastegate?
