Not quite sure on the price yet. But it won't be long before it's available. The intercooler, headers and down pipes from the oval tubing back have proven to make an easy 1000hp. The down pipe on this before the oval is even larger, so we're good. Just need to find a compressor/turbine combination I like for this frame turbo.

No problems with ground clearance Buzz. The k-member is specifically made to have oval tubing pass under it. In these pics, the car is low enough I couldn't get it onto my trailer with the nose on the car. Even w the hitch angling the ass end of the trailer down, still couldn't get the car on lol. Still plenty of room under though.

Wow that is freaking sick. I was curious as to how you got all that under the Kmember, now I have my answer. Make a new 1 lol

That's how we roll LOL j/k. The k-member is also made in such a way that let the headers go forward like they should. Build the the car around the kit, not vise versa. Better performance that way.

A bit here and there. Just been doing some wiring on the mock up car to get it ready. Proto typing is done and I'm sending out some beta testers. I've tested the jigs on this car and I'm happy. Now I'm sending some out for others to install and see how they like the install. But since it's done with mock up and jigs I have been doing nothing but working on getting the car itself running. Here is a teaser for now ;)

Are you guys getting any heat soak issues with that big of a turbo being so close to cylinder heads, wires and anything else not meant to get turbo hot, or are you guys running a blanket over the turbo itself? Kit looks serious, what is pricing looking like on these?

I have had singles closer than this without problems. It's more deceptive than anything. A 2011 TT kit I did was closer to this and so far he says it runs very cool. Different turbos obviously. But same layout with the news fans and expansion tank. For the wire
This turbo frames can be pretty pricey. But I have endless options and one yet not shown that will be unlike any other kit you have seen. As of right now the kit looks to be about 7,000 give or take. As of right now these are the basic components for the majority of the cost.

GT42 Custom Turbo
Tubular 4 into 1 headers w V band connections and 1/2in thick CNC'd flanges
Crossover, 5in down pipe split into dual 3in which runs all the way back to your cat back connection. No need to buy a mid pipe after kit purchase.
Hot parts are 2000 deg coated inside and out.
Huge A/A intercooler or A/W core for the same price.
Custom Tubular K-member
Custom Tubular radiator support
Dual fan assembly
And my kits always come with blankets :thumb2:

No, we didn't make it, MMR did. I think you can get them under 2k.

More pics it is!!
Have you fitted the A/A intercooler yet? Pics?
I won't be fitting this one with the A/A because it will run the A/W. But I do have a rough cut in of the A/A on the TT. You can see the feathering from the saw in the plastic before I cleaned it up. I show you the cooler on that car because the A/A along w other things is exactly the same.
Ok, more pics!!!!

This bad boy sees less than half the inlet rise of the competition at TWICE the power level.

We ran a 1.25 hose for the intercooler that has a .250 wall thickness. Keeps if from kinking when rounding turns. Problem is it's so damn big it doesn't fit around the exhaust, panhard or with all the other AC and fuel lines, let alone the batt cable. This took a bit of time to figure out. Regular 'ole 1in hose fits under the car no problem though.

Random picture of the drums stacked w the new clutches. There's a few of them in there :)

Customer wanted stainless headers so we made it so. I couldn't keep it from him I'm such a child lol. We polished them for him and described what would happen when the polished stainless gets hot and what a gold it will turn. The big ass 5in down pipe is also stainless :) These were just some random pics we sent him.

Here is a mock of of a system being built. For those of you who wanted to buy the headers alone you can see a little better why I can't sell just the headers. The stock motor mounts on the engine and original mounts on the k-member are gone and completely changed. Horse and carriage situation here. Can't have headers w/o the k-member

So this could conceivably be submitted for carb approval.

Oops, I meant axle back. I always get them confused. But I will probably make one that will probably be a few bucks cheaper by tying it back in the cats in the stock location. The cats not moving is a good thing (CARB wise). Problem is CARB is too stupid to accept anything they "think" won't pass. I think it will be automatically out because of not using the stock airbox. What I mean by too stupid is the cats can't be moved more than 3in from the exh valve in it's stock location. It affects start up smog and time to light off the cats. Since one knows this, they could move the cats closer to the turbo(s) to help this. But that automatically disqualifies. Even if it cures the problem and it were to pass testing with flying colors. It's like trying to reason with a child throwing a temper tantrum. I have quite the distaste for bureaucrats w power and a lack of knowledge.
That being said I thin the down pipes I make next that tie to the stock mid pipe should still be 49 state legal.

And this is why you couldn't pay me to live in California.

Beautiful fab work, by the way.

This thing looks great, and those polished headers are badass man....especially when they turn goldish. Great pics.

Beautiful work! Those stainless headers are pure sex! I'm VERY interested in this kit with that A/A setup! Keep us updated :)
