Re: TWIN TURBO KIT For $7995 (partytommy)
Did you notice that there is almost no detailed information? Who is building this kit? What is their expertise? If I was selling this kit I would not be so evasive with info :nono: . Until they provide much better info stay with the tried & true.

Re: TWIN TURBO KIT For $7995 (Bigben)
The interesting thing is though that the seller has incredible feedback, no negative transactions or neutral transactions. This is pretty hard to achieve since someone is usually always unsatisfied with the shipping , product etc. Not recommending but a point that should allow intesting parties to have more communication if interested. Just my $.02

Re: TWIN TURBO KIT For $7995 (partytommy)
Someone on the forum has come across this at least once before, they said it was someone looking to experiment with putting turbos on vettes.

Check out that feedback again. All good, but only for bolt on stuff. My feed back RE_broker shows all positives too, but that doesn't mean I could build a twin turbo that works. Also, notice current auctions. They are selling kits for mustangs, Vette's, etc., etc. I think they had kits for a total of 5 different cars. This may be the real deal, but who wants to be their guinea pig as they learn what works.

I think they're just saying that it's unlikely he's shady. Unskilled, maybe. Shady, doubtful.

Re: TWIN TURBO KIT For $7995 (partytommy)
have you ever heard of them? there is probably a good reason why...
also, did anyone note "1985-2003 Corvettes" i know it's not a dead ringer like saying 1983 corvette, but what about the 84's??
if i remember right, the first time someone on the posted about this and you looked it up on ebay, the description say something like lt1, ls1, lt6, ls4 or something like that....the didn't know the correct engine specs....
i say shy away....

Whats up, yea I brought this to the forums attention about 2 weeks ago, I sent them a very detailed email w/ a crap load of questions and still have yet to hear back from them, they are known for putting turbos on mustangs and i think they are trying to test them out on vettes now. But Im stayn away from them.

Re: TWIN TURBO KIT For $7995 (vetteman012002)
this is what i got from them
You may not have understood that this kit is still in development. We have
a 2002 405hp Z06 in our facility right now for the installation. We expect
gains of about 50% safely, even though the system is capable of producing
much more. However, the high compression and absence of forged pistons,
rods, etc. prevent using all the capabilities of
the turbo system. We are seeking a second Z06 for use in doing the "fit
verification" of the production kit, and are offering the same "free
installation/free dyno tuning" deal for that car. The car would have to be
delivered to us at our facilties in Roswell, NM to take advantage of this
promotion. If you would like to read more about us and our systems, please
visit our website at:

If you are interested or have other questions, please reply to this email or
call us at 505-623-1304 for more details. Thanks.

Re: TWIN TURBO KIT For $7995 (dvandentop)
This is the email response I got when I asked about the kit.
Quote
This is the Stage I Twinturbo System by HP Performance. Boost will vary
depending on the car; the Z06 with its higher compression will manage less
boost than the C4 with lower compression. We don't have any power numbers
yet; that is the reason for the auction.....to obtain a second car on which
to install a "production verification" system (we already have one each of
the Z06, C5 and C4 cars to build the prototype kits on). However, we expect
power gains of 40%-80%, depending on the car, engine and options. If you
would like to read more about us and our systems, please visit our website
