Yes, PTK makes a system that is bolt-on and will take up to a T76-GTS. You can see some pictures of it here...

Do you have a link to this system? The only PTK systems I can find are for mustangs. Also, I have been looking into the STS system, they claim "bolt-on".

STS does make a kit, though its not really a kit. Its more of a bandaid for the turbo LT1/LS1 market. The turbo mounts at the rear of the car, which is not very efficient, but it will make some power with enough methanol injection.

The STS kit can be bolted on in under 6 hours and have seen great results. All wiring is included in a single harness. Check the link out below.

about the PTK kit, what has to be removed/moved out of the engine bay? can the traction control, a/c and such stay in? battery has to be moved to the trunk? since i think i see the water tank where the battery would be.

Their are several options, the kit can be had with the large tank that requires the battery to be moved. The kit can also be had with the smaller tank that mounts in the back, then the battery can be kept. The car keeps A/C, PS...all the good stuff. The only thing that has to be removed is the air-pump which is not really needed anyhow. Also we are working on doing a Air to Air setup as well. The donor car was pushed back though so it has pushed out time line back a little. But I hope to have some new pics of the A2A setup in a few weeks.

HP is developping a single turbo system for the F-body. I've got no idea how long it will be before it's out, but their stuff looks good.

Check it out here

Yeah, and I've heard many good things about the PTK systems.

seems like more than a few places have said they were going to make an LT1 turbo system, and then never followed through These guys' other stuff looks nice, hope they follow through and make it.. moe competitions means better products and prices for us LT1 owners!
