Any one running this kit, got money but just haven't seen anyone running this kit. Call the owner long time ago and told him that my car is lower with eibach pro kit so he suggested me to get k-member so I don't hit my piping .

I can get vortech form superchargers4less for 2500 but I really want turbo . I love the sound of turbo when it spools

What should I do ?

Just some advise but with your particular cams you will run into tuning problems with forced induction.

As far as the kit itself I've never heard of this one before.

turbos are the best...no debating this either

but dont go cheap you pay for what you get..i suggest hellion or any reputable maker

Yup, turbos absolutely kick ass. However, that kit looks poorly thought out and cobbled together. They are using the stock manifolds, which means the exhaust will turn around and go to the front of the car. Then, no provisions for connecting it to the rest of your exhaust system. And a single 3" downpipe? That's what I have on my 4cyl. It'd be way undersized on a V8. I also think the turbo location is frightening. It is near the coolant resevior and a bunch of other plastic parts that don't like heat. And yes, there will be a LOT of heat right there. I've seen the turbo and exhaust manifold glowing red hot on my 2.3 many times.

Hope you don't plan on passing smog with a turbo in Vegas....

With that cam the lift is pretty stoute so tuning becomes an issue with forced induction because the valves are left open longer and the longer duration. That is why it is recommended to go with a blower cam or something with less lift. Not saying it can't be done but it will take a good tuner to get it right

Turbos hate the heat...they become heat soaked and lose power.

Actually, turbos don't hate the heat. Get a proper intercooler and you can still run near ambient temperatures out of the intercooler. Roots blowers on the other hand have a heat problem. They get heat soaked because of heat rising from the engine and there isn't much room for sufficient intercoolers.

As for cam grinds and turbos... Lift has nothing to do with it. The term you are looking for is overlap. Overlap describes the duration in which both the intake and exhaust valves are open. You don't want a cam with a whole lot of overlap on a turbo engine. A grind that pulls enough vacume to run the brakes and otherwise doesn't cause drivablity problems will be just fine with a turbo or blower. I'm sure he doesn't have a grind that is really THAT wild.

There is a difference between what makes a good NA or turbo cam. In general, turbo cams will like a bit more intake duration than exhaust, while the opposite is true for NA cams.

I know it's the internet... but let's try not to spread too much mis-information.
