Couldn't hurt to make a jig for one.

But none of them are affordable

The only one thats remotely affordable is Rob over at Modular Turbo, and his arent available yet. He still wants i think 3k for just hotside. KYTP wants 3700 including an intercooler.

You could make a killing by making them and underselling those two

This kit pictured below is the first kit (discounted). It was the TT race kit that deleted ABS that I built 1.5 yrs ago. I had to dent the driver's log to clear the ABS block, and used some of the kit to make this single setup. Since it modified pieced together kit, it is discounted at $750 while the remaining two kits (for a total of the first 3) will be $1000 each. The new design won't have the dent, and the merge will be more vertical (upswept) versus the horizontal merge shown here. Make no mistake, this one shown will make killer power.

I know this is a few months old, but I'm actually interested in this. I like the idea and placement. My idea though would be to have the turbo a little higher on the driver's side and the turbo would be mounted so the fresh air would come from the CAI location, the DP would go across the front of the motor out down the passenger side like in your first post.

Also I will only be running an Alt on the lower passenger side using a Madman bracket. I'm not sure how that effects any of your routing.

This never got off the ground as I couldn't get anyone to commit. Shoot me an email though if you want to talk about a custom setup for you... should be easy to layout based on your alt relocation.

Cool, I'll e-mail you, I've already been in contact with you though. My engine bay is empty (no HVAC, ABS, etc.) and I'm running a BMR SBC/BBC k-member, not the LT1 style. I'll take some pics for you once I get everything back in the car.

I thought it sounded familiar... but I get so many emails... it's tough to keep track.

I have on of Real Quicks T88 setups thats in the process of going together. Started on it last year and didnt get a chance to touch it over the winter. Im hoping to get it wrapped up here soon so i can brag about his kits even more!

ANYONE looking to go turbo LTX needs to talk to this man! ill have pictures up soon i hope, i started a post a while back on LTX forums under nasty93 but they blocked the site at work and this one got unblocked. So it looks like im back to trolling over here!
