Where can I find a turbo kit?

Does anyone know a website that sells a complete turbo kit? I was able to find a kit about 6 months ago through google but now it seems that I can't find a complete kit any where? If you know of a website or a shop building turbo kits please help me? Thanks

How soon are you looking... I am thinking about going to a twin turbo build... Waiting on seeing how Nate's build goes... If the results are good, I would be selling my entire kit...

He never mentioned anything about selling his kits. 35th that will be awesome if you go twins man. I was debating on going twins but I just don't have the money to that now.

As for buying kits, there really arent and off the self kits. YOu would have to send your truck out and have a shop fab up a kit or fab one up yourself

Ya there are no kits available for these trucks that are worth a ****. I would love to sell kits as there would be a fair amount of $$ in it BUT I'm only 24 and do not have the time, space or proper equipment to make EXACT off the shelf kits. If I had more time and was already settled in my life I would really look into building turbo kits for vehicles of all types.. But as of right now I gotta get my contractors licence first..

I started doing kits, but it was very expensive. I got pro-turbo involved and we all know the outcome of that. I might try a few more, I still have the jigs. Made some changes since the first setup. Figure I could do piping only and let the person buy the BOV, waste gate, etc.

676/751 is what I put down on 19# on pump gas... I think I am probably going to sell if I can get nate to make me some headers and that intake hat after his is all done..
