Reposted pics from August and November????

Surely you can do better than that.... Rolling Eyes

Maybe explain the change to a different ignition and if that is included in the $1600 price tag.

The installed photos are 2 weeks old....and the customer opted for the Compufire, not a necesity... The only thing not included in the kit is a locked out dist.

We've got a couple running around locally, both daily drivers, and no issues to report...a couple of people that said they wanted one have bailed out,(wouldn't say why) so we have some in stock...

Hey Joel,

With this kit work on a 1500cc Single Port? I am very interested in the kit. Do you sell individual parts? headers? carb setup? etc. Just in case I decide to use different turbo, etc. Any information is extremely valuable.

So after looking at your turbo kit pictures, I ask one question. I see that the turbo sits very low. I see that you have basically a 90 degree angle to a short hose to the oil pan. How does the oil get back in the pan. By looking at the pic it looks like the oil would just get backed up and go back into the turbo.

We've had no smoking or oiling issues...the Turbo is Carbon sealed...

same here. can the carbon sealing hold the oil back. so lets see long time tests if the turbo can handle it. normally it's way to low never saw a setup that low but saw setups that was also low and had problems after a time.

the kit itselfe looks very nice. well done specially the header. i like it.

wishes

My turbo knowledgeable friend said it would be best to put an inline oil pump on the return line to the oil pan to not have this issue. Most of the new corvette setups have the turbo very low and use these inline oil pumps to keep the oil from sitting since its parallel with the oil pan. I am still very interested in the kit, and can always make my own modifications to suit my safety concerns and longetivity concerns. Other than that your kit makes excellent power at an acceptable boost level.

Question do I build a 2 liter stroker motor for 5k and make maybe 120-140 tops or do I spend 1600 and make same amount and have a smirk on my face everything i hear that turbo spool. TURBO please.

We have 2 daily drivers running, and the oiling has NOT been an issue. The oil level is just below the shaft height, and the mistake some people make is having the return line too small.
