I've seen several dyno charts from L98 F-bodies with a rear mount turbo. The graph has the same shape and characteristics of a stock engine, just 60-100 HP higher.

If you took away the scale on the side of the graph, you couldn't tell the difference between a stock graph and a turbo car.

L98's pick up 60-100?

thats pretty nice..lol.

if the car had larger runners, ported base, ported plenum would it get even more or does the fact that the air is being forced make all porting unnecessary?

you can't use the mufflers you like for this kit?

What turbo is used on the l98 engine in your kit? I noticed its a .81 ar turbine but what is the compressor side? What kind and frame size of turbo is it? Garrett? Turbonetics? Ebay cheapo? Bushing turbo or ball bearing?

So are you guys a Supporting Vendor yet, so we can get some details on the kit? Or did the kit go by the waist side. I see you have not put up a new post since 2009.

We were supporting vendors this past fall however the economy proved too bad to keep paying for the service. You'll have to PM us for details...

But yes, we are still around and we have systems...

Cheers,
RH

I understand, empathize and agree with the economy statement and your decision. Good Luck.

So what's the deal with this system? I understand that you cannot put it on here, but it's not even on your website.... ????

Website is still there and active and I still take email questions. You may be trying .com instead of .net. We've been waiting for the economy to recover before we become active again.

I'm kicking around the prospect of just selling pipes...

Just might make it more palatable for those that don't want to spend 5 grand up front and will give them options for sourcing turbo's and pumps cheaper than I may be able too... I.e., the used market...

So you would be able to work and spend at your own pace...
