There are plenty of kits on the market, all rear or mid-mount (aft of the tranny) though. Expect to pay the same or maybe slightly more than a comparable supercharger kit.

If you're only going to run 5-7psi, a turbo isn't worth the trouble, becuase a SC will make the same power with far less piping and installation time.

I'm revising my turbo system as we speak, you'll see my old kit up for sale in a few days, it wil be sold to the lowest bidder.

Hope you are taking before & after photos.:)
What is our cylinder head limit....15psi?
Lets see if there is any turbo lag with the new install.

There will be lag, maybe not as prevalant as before, but the low compression engine needs better tuning in order to spool the head unit from the dig.

The cylinder head limit is 20psi, although I'm hoping with better tuning, again.. better tuning, I can reach 700whp/800wtq on around 17-18 pounds.

The fuel pump will probably go up for sale... anyone need an Aeromotive A-1000 pump?

Yes...I see a good working converter being VERY important to get into the correct rpm range.

BTW....your builder seems to be on the right path on the dual in tank fuel pumps.
There is a GREAT thread on the LX site in regards to fuel supply.
