They should! If everything goes to plan, they'll be ready to ship in 6 months or less, but who knowsQUOTE]

We're not 100% sure yet, we are gonna TRY to make it able to bolt right onto stock manifolds and run the piping under/through the K-member into a single T4-flanged pipe where turbo sits in the same area as the passenger-side coil-pack. The downpipe will run down under the driver's side, the pipe to the IC from the compressor will run into the top inlet of the IC and come back out the bottom outlet, through the inner fender and into the TB most likely. We'll probably have the MAF and filter sit right behind the headlight laterally.

If that doesn't work, we're gonna flip the manifolds and run a crossover pipe in front of the motor, then everything will be the same as listed above from there. The issue we may run into is getting it to bolt up to a stock catback.


For the price, we may just let the buyers do whatever they want with the exhaust, minus the downpipe. It's gonna be relatively bare-bones and will not come with anything as far as tuning options, fuel-system, etc. If we added all that stuff, the price would have to jump up. More or less, you'll be getting everything needed for actual turbo kit (manifolds, piping, turbo, wastegate, BOV, intercooler, etc), but not a ton of extra little stuff that you could piece together cheaply to fit your needs.

Right Chris, because 5.0 kits can't be pieced together for like $1800.:lol:

I'd definitely be interested in a kit that uses the stock manifolds and k member. Also, cheaper the better =)

Sounds like a good plan. I already know im gonna get a tubular k though. I can't imagine the pain in the ass i would be with a stock k, but if you guys can pull it off more power to ya.

Turbos scare me, if this actually works it sounds like a nice lil kit.

That's all I want. If you're a patient person you can piece stuff together insanely cheap if you watch for deals on the Corral market forums and such.

Nah, I have slicks for the track. :beer:

If this kit was decent quality, less then a Vortech kit and was capable of 800 wheel I would be all over and I think man other people would be to. Turbo's scare me because of boost controllers, they let you do naughty things.
