I bought this setup and mocked up on my lightning motor. I was thinking probably 75 to 100 hp,similar to a procharger at 9psi with no hp loss due to belt.
Thinking will upgrade later but this was a clean setup that I will use as a guide for later on.
Maybe t60 setup.

 

yeah, thats not a bad setup. Sux havin all the exhaust routing to the turbo, id start over and turn your manifolds around so you dont have 5' of exhuast before the turbo, and a much cleaner install.

 

Actually the passenger side manifold is turned around. I bought this setup as is and actually install is pretty straightforward. Only need to relocate the ac line from what I see. I plan to modify a different setup over the winter when I purchase my new shortblock.

 

i like the aluminum foil

 

Yeah,I thought thats what that was also. Came with the setup. Only thing is it is much thicker than foil and has a cloth backing on it. It looks like this material (thermal barrier).

That should be fun when your done with it. Are you going to be runing both the turbo and eaton?

 

Lots of things I would change on that kit...

If it works though, so be it.

 

how much did you pay for that???

 

i would mount the turbo another 6-8 inches from the valve cover.. the 1200+F temps will melt the valve covers

 

Going to install aluminum covers to be safe. On original vehicle the previous owner had no issues with melting of covers.

 

550 shipped to door

 

u should consider vbands rather than the 3 bolt flange.

i had the 3 bolt flanges on my first turbo kit, had some serious leaks and when i removed the kit it pretty much fell off the truck.

new setup is all vband and awesome.
