Not a stupid question, I should have been clearer.... sorry, TT kit has been sold.
You can source the twin turbos kit for $7K.
Spotters fee of four cartons of your favourite beer or RTD (bundy, jim beam, johnny walker etc) now applies to anyone that finds me a buyer
Anyone needs or nice daily driver or wants to run 12s for ~$2.5K in mods, this is the car for you

Selling my LS1
Im the second owner, I purchased this car about 2 months ago off the original 50yo owner who was using it as his "third" car.
It is a 2002 VY Berlina with HBD options including wheels and rear HBD wing.
Has 72,000ks, all log books and is 100% stock and unmodified. The colour is Berry.
My original plan was to fit my GenTT twin turbo kit and have the ultimate sleeper. This is the thread I started on the car:

Asking $20,000ono need quick sale
Cheers

there isn't a whole lot to them. KKR turbo, exhaust manifold (surely any decent exhaust shop could do this for under $1000), intercooler ($200 + ~$400 for piping, silicone and clamps), wastegate and some lines (~$500), add another $500 for unexpected bits and pieces and do the install yourself.
I'm not sure what they charge for their kits, but I would bet it's a lot more than the sum of the parts involved....
Try $8,900

its an N/A engine paul..and its not an RB, so we're not talking skyline....so from the info he's given (which is little to none) we dont know that there is a turbo variant to his car....therefore there might not be a "standard" bov....
what car is it dademon?
Its actually a LS1 (5.7L Commodore). There's no point in getting opinions off the other V8 guys, I figure the SAU guys are the ones with actual hands on turbo knowledge
Im looking to turbo it which quite a few people are doing now but I dont fancy laying down the $10,000 for the "popular" kit.
The off-the-shelf kits are basically a GT35/40R, intercooler and pipes, BOV, wastegate and exhaust manifolds.
So, I want to run low boost (less than 12psi) single turbo. Ive talked to a few people that say a T04Z with a 1.32 housing is probably the way to go, but I dont know which other parts are capable of supporting this without blowing a bulk of $$$ on name brand parts.
Any help, no matter how small, would be really appreciated guys

stock bov is fine
stock int gate is fine
gtr intercooler is fine
no need for a catch can, fix the original problem
$22 boost controller is fine
Sounds good but Im starting from scratch and she's not an RB

Hey guys,
Im looking at setting up a custom turbo on a NA engine and Ive been looking at some cheaper alternatives to bring the costs down.
As the $22 boost controller thread shows, there are options that are just as good as the name brand $$$ parts
Has anyone had any +/- experiences with:
cheap HKS "style" BOVs
cheap Tial "style" wastgates
no name intercooler cores
no name oil catch cans
anything else?
Share the love people

Can you get smaller than 17" in RS or only what you have listed?
