What do guys want to see for turbo kits? Obviously the standard T4 T60 - T76 turbos, but what else?

Twin Turbo with T60-T76's??

Single turbo kits that use S400 turbos (since those turbos support 1000hp and only cost $600)????

Single turbo T6 race setups for S series turbos (S76-S91) (up to 1200rwhp)??? You would lose your A/C and need to stand the radiator up vertical as well as run an oil scavenge pump.

What else would you guys like to see?

This is doable, but you are talking about a low mount (so you'll need an oil scavenge pump for the drain side) and you will need to run the DP on the driver's side... so you are limited to a 3" DP.

The oil scavenge pump is not that big of an issue....other then it adds something else that could go wrong.

Could you get 3.5" downpipe to fit a S400 setup with the use of a BMR k member?

What size down pipe can be used on your T76 header kit witha BMR k member?

Run the s400 with a big 4-5" cutout before the axle and cut it down to 3" to get past the motor? Not ideal for all people but we are doing a similar setup on an ls1 right now.

What about the new masterpower 76? I'm a huge fan of budget builds. Or would it be a direct swap for the 70? I don't know if the housings are the same.

How come no one runs dual 3" from the turbo back. Thats how I did mine. 4.5" out of the turbo into dual 3" on each side of the kmember all the way back.

I can fit a 3.5" DP with stock k if i plan it right. Does it have to retain A/C?

The best budget turbo is the S400... FI.com sells them for $599 with a t6 housing.

I havent seen the MPT76 yet.
