Trying to line out what I want to do with my newly acquired 97 WS6 and I am pretty sure I will go turbo since my last car was supercharged. Anyway, looking for companies like PTK that offer front mount turbo kits, also if you have any leads on like just the HOT parts for the kit like PTK offers please post that as well. I tried to do a search but all I saw was PTK and STS. This will not be going on a stock engine as I will be building an engine just for a turbo setup and when the time comes just swap it in to the t/a. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, PTK and TTi are it. The PTK kit is much higher quality.
Also, there's a board member making, I think, Phamspeed kits. I think he runs the downpipe under the k-member, though.

A 3" downpipe under the K member? I don't think I want to have clearance issues. I saw the PTK kit and was impressed, but I just wanted to see if the own the market right now as far as being the best quality and the best price.

Is there a company that offers a twin turbo kit for the LT1? I know space would be an issue, but just wondering if there is a kit out there yet.

There are no twin turbo kits.
Several people have made their own, though. INTMD8 built a nice twin kit. They are down low towards the rear of the motor. I've also seen them up high and forward the engine, but you have to get rid of alot of stuff or that.

Well I don't want to get rid of anything. I want to retain the a/c and all the accessories. I guess I will just focus on the single turbo kits. Thanks,

Nic, look no further than PTK. They have a pretty good price on hot parts alone if you plan to fab the rest of the kit. The new Gen 2 kit is awesome, great welds, quality parts. And best of all you retain all of your accessories. Thats something I really researched before buying mine( I live in AZ) so a/c is a MUST! And I wanted to put down some impressive numbers in a full weight car, not some stripped out uncomfortable POS. Give Jose @ Forced Inductions a call.

Thanks. I have been looking for a while and I haven't really seen a kit that looks as well made as the PTK kit. I will give him a call in the near future after I plan out the motor. Yeah I know what you mean, I live in west texas and without an a/c you would not be comfortable at all! So thats something I am going to work around with this whoel build up is keeping everything nice and comfortable. Thanks for the advice.
