Lets see those turbo cars!

I know it is not as common due to the lack of space in the c6 engine bay, even more so with z06 dry sump and high compression motor, but lets see those builds! Curious to see engine bay pics and videos if you have them too. Just trying to get some ideas to see if its something I want to tackle vs possibly just bolting on a centrifugal.

Not sure if you ever saw Tony's build thread from several years back...real nice setup IMO. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...cs-c6-z06.html

As you mentioned, space for the package can be tough...so the Centri is the easy route. Cheaper, and proven parts combos. I'm not a huge fan of rear mounted stuff...just me I suppose, but I feel that's an easier route if you're looking to go custom one-off turbo kit.

It's a custom kit. Hot side is coated and wrapped so there is no heat issues.

Very, very nice. Looks a lot like the design of the LPE kits, which is what i have on my C5Z, except you're using larger turbos. Very cool... well done!
