Well done.

We didn't want the turbo down low to run a scavenge pump as well have always had failures with them and there just a PITA. We looked into having a turbo in the front but we aren't a fan of having a turbo hot side next to the charge pipe, not knocking anyone elses kits, just not our cup of tea. So we were left with one more area, and we always liked the rotated mount kits on the subbys.

We are running the simple Pro48 box at this time, it dosent support the oem crank pickups so we made our own trigger setup, we are controlling the port injectors, ignition coils DBW and boost controller with it. We also use oil pressure and fuel pressure sensors. If the fuel pressure drops a within a set limit it will correct the AF, if it drops past that it will turn the engine completely off as a safety precaution. It uses the oil pressure sensor the same way except once it hits a pressure drop we set, it just shuts the car off to save the engine, it dosent do anything past that. This is something you will never get with the stock ecu.It also has full time closed loop control via a wideband, and has the capability's of adding a flex fuel sensor which will allow you to pump 93 or ethanol any blend together at any mixture and it will automatically change AF/timing and boost based on this. The new Pro 112 box will be released soon and will work with the oem pickups and we will have a plug and play for this. That box will also have true traction control capability's which will monitor abs sensors and when it spins past the set limit will pull ignition timing to regain control of traction, this is how they control traction on pro drag cars. We will keep the community up to date with info as it comes out.

What turbo? 55/58? 58/58?

Thanks, means a lot from you guys, as for turbo size we aren't releasing it yet, but it is smaller then those you listed.

No, the factory braces do not clear our turbo, however these are very poor design and cant compare to a true strut bar that bolts to the strut hats. The factory braces mount to tabs that only have 4 small spot welds. There are some struts bars on the market we haven't verified which ones clear, but if for some reason none do which I doubt it, we will release our own.

Any idea what engine management they'll be selling with the kit? Same as installed here or would an ECUtek work?
Pretty crazy how many locations people have mounted turbos on these cars so far...front of the engine on top, front of the engine on the bottom, behind the engine near the tranny, back of the car and now behind the engine on top.

Thanks, as for pricing, we wont be a bare bottom cheap kit, but we are not out to take all of our customers money, we will be be competitively priced near other kits around our same quality tier, however we cannot match other kits on the market that have sub par quality.
As for tuning, we are planning on releasing the kits with EcuTek.

Unfortunately the v-band housings dont start untill the larger turbos, we are running a turbo capable of 500whp crank but will support 450whp to the wheels. If we develop a kit for the higher horsepower numbers we will most likely go to a v-band housing to make our lives easier on the fabrication side, but 90% of the customers out there will be around this power level, this allows fun racing without puking parts out and having too much down time.
