I like that its up high instead of on the ground near the rear bumper. I have no experience or engineering reason to like it better.

great work!

I would think that with two turbos and all the header work and plumbing, this kit will exceed the cost of a SC kit by a decent amount.
I'm also very interested to see what kind of power it will make.
I'm sure ECS will knock it out of the park.

Doug watched your ECS Youtube vid last night and it was professional and informative! I also watched LMR's vid about their upcoming turbo kit and it was informative as a wet noodle and totally useless! Total waste of time.
I know that your system will rock the C8 FI arena!

Between the greater expense in materials and the tuning costs, it will definitely be more than say a C7 supercharger install. We are also working on a supercharger option though which we feel will be more reasonably priced. Tuning will still be what it is though.

Thanks Nick!! I have not seen their video, but they do make some fast cars, I'm sure they will do great.

Can you post links to the videos?

Turbos look great. Can't wait to see the results

Just search "East Coast Supercharging" on YouTube, or there is a link in my sig. Thanks for your interest!

Awesome work guys! If the Z06 is NA like some of the latest rumors are suggesting, you guys are going to make a killing. I know I'll be giving you a call if that's the case. Would love to be able to hear a little turbo whistle during normal cruise and be able to handle 20-30 min track sessions. You think we'll see either of those in the final product?

Yeah I totally agree with you!
C8 Z will go back to its roots and be a car designed for road course lap times.
I say this BUT McLaren and Ferrari are making turbos work on the road course BUT remember these magazines are doing one lap wonders. Nothing like a SCCA 25 minute race

Doug on another note, I wonder if the C8 has a sensor in the engine bay that will put the car in reduced engine power if the temp in that area get to high?
If this is the case I am sure it can be handled even without tuning.
I know the Lambo Huracan can monitor this area.

One more thing...
Doug let's make some "Mexico" vids. Turbo system should be in soon for my Huracan.
No hero kit, boost levels will be low as I am sure yours will be too at first:cool:.

Looking forward to some FI on my new C8, have to finish the 2650 install on my C7Z first though.

Lets be honest you’re not sorry or you would not have posted.

Ah yes I got your attention. Was reading that you have been playing with Motec!
Will be in the market.
OH but wait, according to others I was being dishonest.

So Doug Motec will build a Standalone for the C8 as will Syvecs. ]
Both companies have new C8 in their possession or will soon. One is a container heading across the seas now!

C8 development continues... as you can imagine, we are having to design and make most of the components for the C8 ourselves. Here is a set of exhaust flanges we designed for the turbo downpipes, 3D printed in plastic so we can test fit in a matter of hours, then laser cut in metal in a matter of days, not weeks, thanks to using the latest in technology available from CAD design to rapid prototyping here in house. We are not just making a turbo system, we are bringing it fully into production at the same time.

Great work/innovation! I can remember back when they said CAD was just a FAD. :yesnod:
