Well, I am pushing forward with the turbo kits... even though its still a part time thing for me that i do out of the garage at home. I have become a sponsor here with the help of Jason the Admin. I am an Engineer in the Medical field by day, and lt1 turbo kit fabber' at night.

The turbo kit work is something that I will only do at night... part time. I use a mig welder, grinder, sawzall, drill press and basic air tools. Nothing special, but it gets the job done. If you want beautiful tig welds, my kits arent for you! If you want something that looks good and performs even better, then consider my kits. I getter better with the looks of my welds with the more kits I build. I created a website that lists some different types of kits and some pics (some picas like the cast manifold kit are old pics). The newer cast kit looks like the header kit, but with manifolds.

Check out the site: www.lt1boost.net

My new email is jon@lt1boost.net

My status under my username will be changing shortly and I am excited.

Just thought I would post... you should see a banner by early next week

Awesome man, your install guide is amazing too, thanks! Do you think you could do a write-up on tapping the pan and running oil lines, only thing I havent looked into yet.

 

I welded a bung onto my pan. Vortech has a special tool. You drill a small hole, then use this tool (long conical punch). You drive the punch in and it folds the metal into the pan. You then tap the threads on the folded in metal part. I have seen it before. Here is a general explanation:

Vortech sells the tap kit.

 

Congrats Jon! Love the kit I bought, just wish I had the time to finish dialing it in. Between kids and the time spent overseas, my car is really feeling neglected. I'm off to Europe again in a week.

 

PICS OF TT SETUP :nod:

 

Great Jon! Glad to hear it. I will post up my details as soon as the Turbo shortblock gets finished (mid December 2007)

 

Good luck. hope it works out for ya.

 

VERY NICE! I love my kit and it runs very good considering my stock heads/cam still!

Here is what it's capable of doing

Thanks everyone for the support.

 

Super BIG congrats dude! If you had your site going back when I decided to go with my D1SC, I probably would have gone with one of your Turbo kits instead.

Turbo LT1's are WICKED! Do you happen to have any turbo LT1 video links?

 

Thanks dude.

I just have some vis that justin posted. Check out this thread:
