Ok turbo guys im wanting to know if any of you know where i can buy a twin turbo setup and not pay a arm and leg for it i like the Banks power kit but im not paying 6gs for it my project is more of a budget and ive looked at the Ebay kits and know there not great but ive looked up on it and it has negative and positive comments but i know its cheap stuff and don't really want to head that route if i don't have to.I'm not looking to make a 1000hp just 400-600hp so if you guys know where i can look to find decent prices that would be great.

I would buy a good turbo and get an ebay stainless manifold kit. I know guys that have stainless ebay units and love them. Summit sells turbonetics turbos for a decent price.

You can't just slap a turbo on. It's not cheap power you are going to be in the near range of 2500-3000$ range when your done. Yes that is half of the banks kit but you will need to do some work. 1 finding the right turbo is key do your research don't just buy the big one.
2. Now your turbo is only as good as your carb if your running one sorry don't kno if your efi or carb.
3.you can run stock turbo waste gate pressure but that's nothing. Blow off valve are your friend.
Sorry for the semi long post don't mean to sound rude. But turbos are not cheap power. And I am sure you know th amount of work time and money this going to cost you

Exactly why I'm not doing a turbo on my LS even though I was offered a free 76mm turbocharger. A lot of homework would have to go into the setup. The fuel system and induction would have to be sorted. He will have to get a blow thru carb if he is running a carb. I would research into people running a setup similiar to what you want to run and see what they used. Car Craft has featured a lot of builds similiar to what you want to do. I would check out their archives.

Sounds like a solid plan. Can't wait to see updates.
