Alright guys.. i've had numerous people from other sites ask me about building them a turbo kit or doing a writeup. I've been toying with this idea for about 3 months...
What would all you 96-04 GT guys think of a Single Turbo hot section for$1500 w/ tubular headers, and complete kits w/ a T-70 or 60-1 turbo for $3500-4000 minus fuel system?
If the owners of the site have a problem with me asking this question, please feel free to delete this thread and PM me so we can discuss. This isn't a advertisement, just a "testing the waters" type of thing.
What i want to know is.. How many of you would be willing to purchase on within the next 3 months w/ a 1 month MAX turn-around time. And how many would be interested in the complete kit, and how many interested in a hot section setup only.
the Single kit will be almost identical to what i've got now, It will just use a different set of custom tubular headers. V-band clamps on everything w/ your option of Mild steel, aluminized steel or stainless steel (stainless will be extra $$). I can offer JUST a hot section w/ headers and Y pipe to the turbo. Or i can do a full kit minus turbo stuff. or a COMPLETE kit. I can do 38mm or 44mm Wastegate flanges.
I'm looking at making approx. 700-800rwhp on my Single T-70 kit. If i dont get close to my goals, it will be removed jigs made and replaced by a Twin 61mm Kit. And then i'll be making jigs of the twin kit to begin selling them.
Here is what my kit looks like:

Everything will be Tig Welded, and High Temp Paint Coated. IF i can find a local jet hot coater ( I've found 2 recently), i can have everything jet hot coated for extra. There are a few differences between the kit on my car and what i'll be selling.. 1. I will have the airfilter pointing the opposite direction on the turbo for more hot section/cold section clearance. 2. The downpipe will not be a full exhaust. It will only be about 15-30" long and the remainder of the exhaust will have to be done by an exhaust shop for differences in car setup reasons. 3. The turbo May be mounted where th battery is located requiring a battery relocation kit (which will not be included in the kit), but would like opinions on if you would want this or not.
The Goal is for me to make a Turbo kit available that is REASONABLE in price.. I'm not in this to make thousands of dollars, but i'm not going to barely break even on materials expenses either.. The turbo's will be from Master Power, and the Wastegates will be either Tial or a Tial knockoff that i am currently using w/ great success. BOV's will be buyers option. Or i can supply the hot section
IF yall have anything more specific, post up your questions. The only way i'm going to decide if i'm going to do this or not is if i get a VERY high intrest in the kits.
Like i said. this isn't an advertisement to sell them... just a testing the waters kind of think to get an idea on interest of a reasonably turbo kit.
All feedback and comments are highly encouraged wether good or bad.
