Default HP performance kit (do they still exist)?
I have been researching turbo kits looking for something that can make some serious power 1200ish wheel.

I came across this site for HP performance do they still exist? I can't seem to find any contact information.

http://peregrineperformance.com/97-09%20Corvette.htm

Thanks,

Robert

I think they went out of business a year or two ago. I bought one of their kits back in October 2010.

You can buy UPP turbo kit and do some changes to look like HP Performance kit. I'm doing this project on my C5 ZO6.

My car with 76mm T3 turbo units and without scavenge pump.

76 t3??? really i have never understood how these work on a bigger cubic inch motor. your exhuast gas pressure has to be through the roof.

why didnt you switch to a T4 flange and not have to worry

eBay knock off kits are China junk, and I believe they switched to no name turbos at some point, maybe that's why they are no longer in business.
