NEW front MOUNT. getting your input

This kit will allow one to use the stock exhaust manifolds. Final turbo connection is still up to the end user. This is another option if you want a turbo kit but do not want the turbo in the engine bay. OR you like your rear mount and want faster spooling etc.
The kit will have an oil pump. The turbo compressor housing is just slightly lower the the frame.
You can see our air to air in one of the pics. We will have 3 options for our customers to choose.
500max
650+
and 500+ALL day long air to water. Add ice or at the race track HP numbers go well over 750hp.

Some prelim picks(mock ups) and as always getting peoples input.

That is a sweet setup. I may look into that on my next project.

Won't that get REALLY soaked in wet weather?

The kit looks like it would work great! I bet it makes the same power as the current one. Actually, it's hard to mess up a turbo kit and not make power.

From what I see on a regular basis, the pipe under the cross member might be too low, we get a lot of trucks that come in lowered and have a lot of scrapes on the crossmember.
The filter is definitely going to get wet, that'll be an issue with the maf of course. Typical of any remote mount turbo.

Did you conceal the feedline and return line that good or are they not installed?
If not, those are going to hang a little bit too.
Don't worry about the drain line being in the 6 o'clock position so it will drain correctly, mine drains just fine and you can see how horizontal it is.

Something else to think about is the oil pan drain.

The cold pipe under the truck I think we have a fix for. But all things cost, so really lowered guys will pay a slightly higher price. ;) for this one.
or we offer a hi front mount.
And why do lowered trucks drag so much are they in the weeds.
The air filter again there is a mod but at a cost. This set up is aiming towards a budget type of turbo system, with good parts.
Yea the oil lines are not ran yet, still working on it as a total set up., the oil drain will not stick any lower then the turbo does not. ;) good to know I can tweek that around if need be.
HP level probably the same for sure.

more pics to come.

The price is what some will like, leaving out the manifold does save some time and coin. A bunch of time for sure that takes use the longest to build.

I will get you those pics of the I-5 in my wife's Coloy. I am still stoked on the idea so hope you are still planing on doing the turbo kit.

Just a quick question, is there anyway i can buy just the passenger side turbo header by itself, with out the whole intro kit? Im considering doing an LS1 swap into my Typhoon, and this will help me keep the turbo, and yes i know i will hve to make a new DP and, will replace the stock drivers side manifold with a regular 4.3L manifold and fab up a crossover pipe to the turbo header.

Id like one in plain steel, and will have it coated once the mock up is done.

Thanks

Sorry we do not sell just the manifold at this time. Unless it is replacing one from a kit, that was in a wrech or something like that.

Ok that one cold pipe will need to be removed for the average oil change. Meaning if you just pull the plug out quick, the stream will hit that pipe. No biggy just 2 clamps and its out of the way.

later

edit. I scrapped the no crush piping layout, it did not look good and was a P.I.A. to deal with. So lowered trucks will need to take care while baha'ing.:LOL: Air inlet to turbo is 3" and cold side to IC is 2.5".

This may be a silly question, but how do these kits work in a state where rain is rampant? And flooding happens a bit?
