I've been looking at turbo kit designs to get an idea of what I want to build. Obviously more flow is better, which is why PTK's LT1 headers are some of the best out there.

Looking at Turbo Technology's LT1 kit, they use a stock manifold on the passenger side, and pump all the exhaust from both sides through a big log on the driver's side (assuming the wastegate is closed).

Building a kit like the Turbo Technology one is obviously much more simple to build. Using a header instead of the stock passenger side manifold could aid some in flow... Anyone have an idea of how much power this deisgn is limited to? What are the (other) downsides to this design?

I know I only want to build it once, and build it right... but I also know that my power goal won't go past 800hp anyway. It's a fun street can and not a race car.

 

The TTi kit it limited to about 550-600rwhp with a T76. The pass thru log design is a simple and affective one, but you want to support the turbo wit a bracket if possible. I will selling a kit on ebay I am making (should be done in about 2 weeks). It uses log manifolds for both headers and merge at the turbo (rather than a pass thru design). I suspect this will poduce 100rwhp more than a TTi type setup.

I have been in a QMP firehawk @ 9psi and the thing screamed! The QMP kit is similar o the TTi kit. It makes for a fun street car. Email me if you have any mor questions.
