Default CxRacing Single Turbo Kit

I have been eyeing this kit lately. More than likely, i will upgrade turbo down the road & possibly intercooler! I have heard Tial BOV do not work with the system, therefore; what is a better BOV that will work? I will also be upgrading injectors & fuel pump in order to run e-85. Is my goal for 700 rwhp on my ls2 a "safe" power level? Mods are PRC 243 Heads, Cam, Full Bolt Ons (including fast 102 manifold, Meziere water pump, fast fuel rails, Nick Williams 102 TB).
PS. I plan on doing a bumper exhaust exit.
Any recommendations and tips are more than welcome

i did a quick look at the site. I personally would not want it due to no A/C. This is item #2
from web page:
Note:
1. This Kit Needs to Remove Stock Radiator, Replaces It with Our New Radiator.

2. Needs to Remove A/C (Don't Have Room For A/C Condenser).

3. Need to Drill Oil Return Port on the Oil Pan for Turbo Oil Return.

4. Need to Work On the Exhaust System to Connect to the Downpipe (Due to Many Exhaust Options, The Downpipe Is NOT Connected to Stock Exhaust).

5. This Kit Is For Turbo Hardware ONLY, You Will Need to Upgrade Engine's Fuel System and Tune the Engine.

6. For Automatic Transmission, Need to Add An External Oil Cooler, NOT Included. For Manual Transmission, It Is Highly Recommended to Upgrade the Oil Cooler As Well.

7. There Is NO Installation Guide Provided, However, We Show Many Installed Pictures On Car and On Engine Stand.

UPP makes a great twin turbo system. They are a forum sponsor. http://uppturbo.com/

Yup. Read all those. & in my post said i was doing fender exhaust exit. Thus, i would be able to keep AC (either way i never turn it on). Also UPP is a nice set-up but over my budget.

Give it a shot and report back. I think as long as you don't mind making a few changes it'll work.

I was looking into the CX kit as well. I wish more people had the kit for reviews. I would not get the upp kit, bc you have to hack up so much of your car to fit it. Also I have been told by employees that they would never run the supplied turbos on their personal cars.

I have the cx racing headers crossover and rad/intercooler combo but i will be running a borg warner turbo. The kit looks to be very nice and fits decent so far. The rad and intercooler kit comes with all the brackets and bolts you need. I am remiving my ac because i want a rear exiting exhaust only down side i have found so far.

Nice. This is the kind of feedback i am looking for. Also any cons to the kit. What turbo are you exactly going for?

That's funny, because everyone of my employees running a turbo setup is running one of our turbos....

1. There's a big difference between "employees" and disgruntled ex-employees.

2. Brett (your first post) conveniently didn't mention that he also managed to destroy two Precision turbos on the same car.....The turbos were never the problem....

Hmm. Not so bad with a "step-bit". Are you going to keep the bov that comes with the kit? Also what power level are you shooting for on a stock bottom end still? (Sorry for all the questions, rather be well informed lol)
