Default Twin turbo kit

Hi all,

Just thought, you might be interested in this.

http://www.amberleyautos.com.au/

Twin turbo kit has been built for a LSI pontiac GTO (Australian Monaro)
and is soon to be released in Australia, l have contacted the company who built the kit via e-mail but have had no responce about building the same set up for my 1990 corvette, lm sure if they had enough interest from over there they may put some thing together. l do plan on calling into there work shop in the next few weeks so l will keep you posted.(prices for the below kit were list in Street Machine Magazine from $10000Aus to $16000Aus drive in, drive out)

This is copied from there site.

8-11TH JANUARY - TTLSI AT THE SUMMERNATS.

Amberley Autos debuts its prototype stage 2 Twin turbo LS1 system at the Summernats and shows its potential by making 611rwhp and qualifying 4th for the HP Hero small block, turbo and supercharged class. All this with a stock LS1 engine and only 10psi of boost.

The AA LS1 twin turbo stage 1 ( TT450) & 2 (TT550) systems have been designed for all LS1 powered HSV & Holdens, including Commodore, Crewman, Monaro and Statesman. It has been engineered to deliver maximum performance and long-term engine durability at safe boost levels on stock engines. By taking into consideration variables such as the intended use, climate, altitude, and design parameters of the stock engine, Amberley autos system delivers scintillating, sophisticated proven performance.

Instillation is carried out by our qualified technicians and typical installations can generally be done in within one working week. The AA Twin turbo LS1 system is engineered for true OEM quality fit, finish and is designed to compliment original equipment under bonnet presentation with absolutely no fabricating, cutting of body panels, or major internal engine modifications.

Official release date to be announced soon!


Later Getsom Australia

(with enough interest over there, we might be able get them to modify this to suit C4 and C5 so send them an e-mail)

For the shipping costs alone you would be money ahead to have someone make your headders.. Plenty of guys making custom setups domestically...

The kit they have put together, is on the basis that there will be a fairly large market in the states for the pontiac GTO, the price l have listed are in Australian dollars which include installation and dyno tune
there is about a week turn around drive in drive out, so with the dollar value l would think that the kit would sell for as follows.

10000Aus = 7200US

less labour and dyno time should bring it back to around 6000US

less Austarlian tax of 10% 5400US

Shipping cost are fairly cheap l reasently perchased a twin plate mcleod over here for 1000US this weighed around 30lbs.

Not that bad for over 600bhp.
