here is a C6 getting a single TRUBO KIT in the C6 section. hopefully, if there is enough intrest, it might lead to a C5 kit!!

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2016813

the makers of the kit say there is room for turbos upto the FI94X unit. thats around 1750bhp acording to the manufactures, Forced Inductions. should make for an intresting ride!

Cheers

Would be nice in a C5. Wonder what the pricing will be??? Hope it's affordable.

I would like to see it on a C5!

But is the single turbo much better than a F1 ProCharger or one of equivilency?


Thanks,Matt

Well since they are equivalent then the answer would be no.....

well with a turbo you dont have to worry about belts snapping, or having to move the rack to acomidate the massive belt needed!

on the other hand the turbo guys have to contend with mugh higher under hood temps. this can be sorted to some degree with coatings and heat wrap.

is there any reason this shouldn't work for the C5???

The hood hinges are much bigger on a C5 and would require different plumbing. As for working... I agree the heat in the engine bay can be controlled, but the IC/radiator configuration will determine what application the setup can endure.

what what i have heard they are running the rad at a 45 degree angle. i think its leaning forward aswell. i guess time will tell but i hope it dose work.
