Only one I know of avail right now is the charged air systems one.
I made my own and am in the middle of making some others a few but that is for fun only. I would take a look at ls1 speed as they sell the turbo kits

So far I'm not impressed with Turbolocity. Their approach seems to me to be bad. They're basically trying to use a big hammer (namely LT1edit) to make their F*rd kit fit on the LT1. They have this idea that they will be able to do mail-in tuning, which is impractical to say the least. From my very limited experience, and from what I have been hearing from a very large number of people with turbos, is that if you run a turbo on an LT1 or an LS1, you're going to need dyno-tuning. I think the Turbo Tech (single turbo) kits worked on the stock computer, but those kits had a bunch of other problems and were basically crappy (or so I hear, before anyone flogs me ) if you wanted to use them on modified engines.

I like the CAS setup except that it uses ugly log-style manifolds and you have to lose your A/C, which isn't an option here in Florida.

I plan on building my own system, although it would be nice if there was a company that sold good turbo manifolds outside of a kit.

The CAS/Speed, Inc. system is nice if you just won the lottery or have no problems taking a second mortgage out on the house.

I'm sure there will be a company this year or early next year that'll have an affordable turbo kit that doesn't have a straw for a downpipe.

Preach it brother

That is why i built my own system

The turbo tech one is good for what it is but thats it. ITS NOT A RACE TURBO system.

I honestly think what it takes to build a real race system most do not want to pay for or do not realize how pricey it actually is

I am NOT a fan of log manifolds and got even less fond of them after talking to burns stainless about them..

Hell, all I ask for is someone to make a set of headers that bolt up to some REAL turbos

I'll make the other stuff - or at least try

I'd be interested in that, too. Any way you know of to keep A/C? It gets pretty hot here in the summer.

email: incarnus@attbi.com

Thanks!
