I decided on an On3 singe kit. Jack stands appeared 10mins later.

lol, except for the Monster, not a single turbo build has been successful/reliable that I can remember on this site. Maybe it's a Stangnet turbo build curse?

I can offer as much help as I can. Be prepared for little things like adapters and better bolts.

I think a lot of people run into issues rushing their turbo builds or don't triple check the function of important parts.

Or....they want more and more boost...until...boom !

I don't think he was joking...

Hope he realizes that a supercharger kit is about the same money ( in the long run ) and can be installed in one weekend.

I haven't had any major problems with on3....but I haven't gotten tags yet either.

On3 single turbo kit is almost $800 cheaper than the Vortech v3.

Yes and yes, I agree 100%. Things haven't been purchased yet but the plan is leaning towards single turbo. I have to recover from this new coolant system.

I still have to do the entire suspension, finish the exhaust, 5lug swap, brakes and wheels.

At the rate things are going I'll probably have a new motor before I have a power adder.

Don't forget all the heat wrap and blankets when you tally up the actual cost. And extra work...time is money. I knew mine wouldn't be cheap... And I love the sound and challenge. So far....so good.
