That kit isn't for an LS motor. It has an intercooler that's good for about 400 horsepower on it's best day, small chinese turbos and plenty more shortcomings.
Your best bet is to get something custom until the big boy kits come out.

Holly smokes!! That is impressive.
Wish I had the funds to add this setup to my Z06. Thompson is currently building my 383 for my car right now and should be ready in about a week.
What intake does the test car have on it?
I looks to fit that vette like a glove.

Thank you! It fits very well. The test car has a LS6 intake manifold on it. Stock bottom end car for the initial testing. We are then swapping out the smaller turbos for a pair of Billet 7475's and tossing in our 427 LSX also from Thompson!

WOW! You guys did use a C6 oilpan, but that packaging looks killer.

Thanks guys! Yes, C6 pan is required to fit these big turbos up higher and the 3" downpipes, however not a bad swap to do at all. We also have custom engine mount pedestals that do not require you cut yours all up to fit, simply bolt in!

Hard to say with never seeing the kit in person. It fits VERY well. Everything installs easy, not a bunch of hacking or cutting required like other kits. A couple items we include in the kit along with the C6 oil pan free up a ton of space to fit the Full T4 turbos nicely

Well, so coming from someone that saw the prototype pretty close....

I was fortunate enough to work with and help Huron in the early stages of this. The prototype was done in my garage, on my car. There was a ton of time spent in packaging here to ensure things didn't have to be cut up to death, all accessories and creature comforts stay, but fitting a pair of full size 60-series T4 turbos. They are high, gravity drain, and the 3" v-band downpipes don't require any frame cutting. No loss in ground clearance, etc. In the pictures, you'll notice not just the turbo but the flange as well are tilted. The turbo tilt is less than 15deg, so it stays within all manufacturer limits. The flange is tilted for a couple reasons. First, fitment... if you want the flange parallel to the ground and not cut the frame, forget it. I've done a few of these, so speaking from experience for what can fit:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...orking-on.html

Second, if you have a turbo in hand then hold it by the flange and see where it naturally balances. You'll notice it's very similar to the pictured flange angles. The center cartridge is offset, so the center of mass is offset from mounting position as well. This means less residual forces on the manifold mounted assembly, and should yield a long life.

The intercooler has a large custom shroud on it, and is fed separately from the radiator. Radiator remains bottom feed with factory air dam, in factory position. The shroud captures air from area next to fog lights, and through nose from license plate hole. This was all done in an effort to keep air moving across the radiator, without sacrificing intercooler size.

There were plenty of considerations taken to ensure this kit could be produced while retaining the most factory systems possible.

This stuff is not easy to replicate, even on jigs. Tremendous work by Huron to do it, and nice finishing touches with the couplers and engine pedestals for sure. Well done guys!
