I've been asked to source turbos that spool ~4500 RPMs otherwise we'll have to limit the throttle which could create a noticeable flat spot in the power curve. This is what I've been told, don't have any real world experience yet although we will very shortly here. And we plan on testing/tuning for multiple turbos, hence why we made this T3 and T4 compatible. We also have a new hybrid turbo in the works, slightly bigger exhaust wheel than our 6182R, with a larger AR, and a 72/102mm blade instead of the 61/82. Still all in the same housing, which means it will be available for the current customers as an upgrade as well. (Have alot of testing to do before we release it though).

I probably should have mentioned my car also has a custom fuel system built by LMR with additional injectors so the car can supply the fuel it needs for such an application. It might be a challenge to get over 800-900rwhp for customers who do not have fuel system upgrades.

One other point I was hoping to bring up is many of us highly boosted c7 have breather kits. I'm not educated on if one will be needed with twin turbos. If so will the kit come with some sort of breather kit as part of the package. Our current breathers would not fit with the current architecture of the current turbo set up

What do you have in mind for such a package. Would be looking for an extremely fast spoiling turbo.
What are you using for a fuel system???????

The fuel system is custom built by LMR in Texas. As of now there is not off the shelf option.

A few years back when the G8's were new, Vector Motorsports were developing a turbo application similar to this, where everything was up front. All of a sudden... the project was stopped. No one ever knew exactly what happened, but it never was released for sale.

Hopefully this won't happen, but I'm not holding my breath.... Big differences between our DI fuel system and port injection C6's. Very expensive to get reliably adequate fuel volume.

No, not officially yet. We've put it on the back burner as we're waiting for a donor car to complete it. It's about 90% done, we just need a car to test fit it on and get final dyno numbers.
