Are you talking big block or small block?
I'm such a dumb @$$!! Forgot to put that in there. Thanks for catching that.
We're starting with the small block kit. So this poll is for the small block.

Good luck with it. I have six different sets mopar sb heads and all take different flanges and flange location. I'm sure you know this though.
This kit was based around a traditional port configuration. If there is a large demand for a turbo kit to fit a W9 or whatever, it won't be hard for us to adjust accordingly.

My app would be W9 1000hp Twin, gas, intercooler EFI, E body.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I've been offering an entry level SB kit that will support anywhere from 350-750 horsepower in single form and fit any body style with only a downpipe change and zero cutting to the body, and I have had very little luck making sales. Very few Mopar people are willing to make the leap into something as "exotic" as turbocharging.
It seems that in the Mopar world, people either wanna build a mild 360/408, or a 440" W9 headed twin turbo motor, and not much in between. Its very hard to offer a kit for every different bodystyle, steering gear, exhaust flange, not cut the car and make it basically modular for future changes.
Good luck with your kit.
11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost.
9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.

This would be a good place to ask your question also. Seems most everybody there wants 1000hp right off the bat - lots of dreamers there... http://www.turbomustangs.com/smf/index.php?board=21.0
Parts I seek:
driver doorpanel, 65 Sport Fury, prefer black, needs to be 7-8 on 10 scale, might buy set
16" x 6" Dodge truck wheel(s), from early 70s?, takes 9" dogdish - need for a research job so cheaper is better.
69-73 C-body caliper brackets and/or splashields
Send a PM.

Good luck with your kit.
PM me, or do you have a website with details? in this day and age of fluctuating fuel prices, I've long thought of going the other way---basic 318 build, with mag heads and mild cam, say something that N/A would be 300-330 horse/tq, and then tossing say 10-15 psi boost on it to get into the 500-550 HP/TQ range...I want the docility and fuel economy of a stock motor, but 2-3 times the HP....
is your kit just the turbo plumbing, or turbo plumbing and appropriately sized turbo? does it include the fuel metering system (carb or efi?)
**EDIT** looked at your website, but details were a little sparse...also, what would it take to fit with PS? is your kit a single or twin setup? do you use stock manifolds or headers, or does your kit come with the necessary exhaust parts, too?

how much are we talking about for the kit?
Price structures are still being finalized. As soon as we have a good grasp on that, we'll be more than happy to share.
Our intentions are to make the highest quality kit for the most reasonable price we can.
