Besides the turbo's and k member, what else needs to be done to make this kit complete? I know its not a complete kit like thp, hpp and hellion. we have to complete the piping as well correct?
cg fab kit

CG offers a complete hot side/cold side kit, that is what I bought. You have to supply intake, k member, turbos. You also have to consider all of the lines you are going to need for turbo oil feed/return, and you also have to tap your oil pan for return lines, or by one with provisions for oil return.
CG also sells a really nice oil cooler delete, that in my opinion was better than the MMR unit. I had to extend my MAF, IAT1, and IAT2 sensors also. I am probably forgetting a lot of stuff, but I thought the fit of the CG stuff is really nice, and I would buy it again.

That looks sick man. Did you have to fabricate any kind of piping?
Thanks, the piping you see in the pics all comes with the CG cold side kit, but I will need to buy a short 90 to connect to the fender well pipe, and I am also using a procharger intake elbow connected to my throttle body.
Ok. yea the intake and stuff we have to get. I was told by cg fab that we had to finish off some of the exhaust work and piping which is why I never got the kit. Not sure if my shop I go to will do it. I have to show my tuner
ok I know what I have to do. I have to make whatever parts/pieces that are going to connect whatever upper intake manifold I will use, I was told I need to fabricate my own exhaust, and I have to figure out what to do about the radiator expansion tank and everything else that you just mentioned. I really wish HP was still in business. complete kit, good price, and they worked. All my friends cars with those kits all ran in the 8's and never had no problems with the piping and the fitment was spot on. Going to see if my tuner will help me on this build
The intake connections are pretty easy to source, and I am going to do front bumper exits on the turbo down pipes for my exhaust. The CG fab stuff is nice, but is not plug and play such as a hellion, or the HP kits, but with that being said the CG stuff gives you a lot of the main components at a reasonable price, and also allows you the freedom to include a lot of custom combinations like bigger turbos, different intakes etc.
yea I think I am going with the cg fab kit. I am not an expert on turbos so I have to do some research on which ones I want to get. Going twin turbo if I do this build. I would like to have decent size trrbos, bigger than a 57mm, with good spool time. If I go turbo I want to make big power. car will get an auto as well. If I can make 11-1200rwhp through the auto that would be bad ass lol
I plan on going with a cg fab tt kit. Ive good things about there quality. I just finished building my motor. So it time to start gathering the parts need for the turbo build. Should be getting started in the next 3 months.
Everything will be built. freddy brown 4R and was thinking livernois will do the motor
Nice. what turbos are you going with?
Ive been thinking either Precision 5862 or 6262
I was looking at the 6262 myself. what about the 6266?
Im only going for 1000rwhp and I want some thats going to spool quickly since the car is mostly street driven.
I still havent made up my mind yet tho!

Why not the Gen2 6062s?

Why not avoid precision?
I love my 6262's! But I may step up to 6266's or 6466's soon.
What is wrong with precision?
Minus that they are overpriced and are super finicky about oil feeds, nothing. I don't hate them at all. There are just better options for the money.
