Default ****UPP's AFFORDABLE Twin Turbo Kit!!!***

This has been in the making for a minute now, but I think we’re finally ready to bring it to market. We’ve got some feedback, made some changes, and now we have a really awesome AFFORDABLE kit!!

For those of you that haven’t seen this, here’s some of the facts:

-T3/T04B Turbos- capable of 1100hp (550ea)

-Remote fender mounted, completely hidden

-550whp PROOVEN from only 8 psi on a bone stock C5 Auto with a VERY MILD tune!

-Twin 35mm blow off valves.

-Complete kits LIMITED TIME PRICING STARTING AT $4999!!!, THIS IS A COMPELTE KIT INCLUDING INJECTORS AND HPTUNERS VCM SUITE!!!! (tuner kits also available).






We are also looking for wholesalers/installers, pm if interested in becoming a vendor.

-CK

You can use any of the T04B fames and I believe any of the T04E frames. The T04B it comes with can support 1100hp, being that most people will never come close to this, it's probably a pretty good turbo for the kit. We will have a bit better numbers with the higher boost on the C6 platform in a couple weeks (once the owner gets used to it and cleans out the crappy fuel). The C5 we stopped at 550, it's a bone stock 98', and it's automatic. So weak rod bolts, weak transmission, poor intake manifold...... The turbo kit wouldn't be the limiting factor!

Is this the same kit that you had on EBAY? I think someone posted about this kit not too long ago. Also, I think I seen a C5 with this turbo kit, the one from the eBay ad on clist. I could be wrong though. Interested in seeing the high boost numbers.

Yes on the C5 platform it should bolt up just fine, we're still working on the C6 Z06 though.

To bad it wont work with my long tube headers/x-pipe! Maybe I will go back to stock and sale them to help with the cost. I have a cam in my car (428hp/396tq) that is suppose to be turbo friendly, wonder what kind of power it would make? This looks like a great way to max out the old credit card again lol, how long will this kit be availble for $4999?

No, it won't work with the long tubes, but it does work with the BBK shorty headers! As far as pricing, we don't know yet. MSRP is supposed to be $6200/$6700, but we're just trying to hit the market HARD, and reward some of the inaugural buyers for having faith in us. Probably after we sell the first 10-20 kits we'll start raising the pricing a little?

I didnt even think about that, you can get shortys for as little as $400. Can you pm me a price for a tuner kit without turbos?

I'm also interested in price of the kit without the turbos or calibration. Also have a few questions:
- I assume the inner fenders are put back into the car. How do you manage heat rejection in a confined space to avoid cooking the paint on the fenders or melting everything?
- Are the turbos water cooled?
- How is the oil drained, by scavening pump or gravity to the pan?
- Do you have to remove the factory cross member?
- Is there any cutting or clearancing required to the car?

Thanks!

I can sell the kit without the turbos, but if you're using your own, I am not responsible for fitment, as I've not had a chance to test every turbo!

-Inner fenders are optional, but will require cutting. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH HEAT...I've been running this for a while now on my car, never and issue. Remember there is a vent in the fender there that promotes airflow.

-Turbos are not water cooled.
- Oil is scavanged by a Tilton pump
- No removing factory cross memeber.
- Cutting is minimal, a small fg strap where one turbo goes, and a couple holes in the wheel liners for the IC piping.

I have a few off the wall questions.

Is it possible to mod the oil scavaging to gravity feed, into the oil pan?
Would that need a hole drilled through the frame of something?

How does it connect up to the rest of the exhaust? Do you cut the original exhaust? Any tests done without cats?

How long to remove the system? Some of us have to Pass Cali smog
