And so it begins....
The turbos, wastegates, and blowoff valves arrived today. Precision billet 82mm turbos and a 6 speed should make for a different experience. More pics to come as build goes on.

LMR is building custom headers and locating the turbos in the fenderwells, very similar to the HPP kit. Converting the car to a TR6060 after doing a 4L80 conversion will be a piece of cake.

I think it will make a record in the Corvette history not only C6
RCC Do you think POWELL can comment about his Porsche and get this thread locked too??
Good luck with the build man I can't wait to see some Tx Mile runs.

Sounds like a great continuation of your project.
With fender mount approach, are you planning on trying to run piping so it does not run under frame? Also any plans to support turbo's overhung load (tendency to droop/crack over heat/cool cycles)?
Sorry for all the questions, is 6060 the ZR1 unit as the gears are supposed be stronger do to better metallurgy.
Well good luck with it, I'm sure you'll set the bar a notch higher
