turbodgumby · 02-02-2009, 03:35 AM

Does anyone know where to find a hot-side turbo kit for a 1st Gen L??

Gonna be a while till I have time to fab a twin kit myself.

no one currently makes a gen 1 specific kit...you can look into b&g turbo and ponydown.net.they make fox 351w kits,that i think will work.

I talked to Jeff at Ponydown today and he said he doesn't make anything for a Lightning. Jeff made the Twin kit thats on my Stang.
I am gonna call Mike Montgomery @ Cartech tommorrow they used to make one back in the day but I don't know if they still have the Jig. I'm hoping someone else does. I am eventually going to do a twin kit just dont have time to fab right now.

Also found from doing some searching that Silver State Motorsports makes a kit for the first gen. but at a $5000-$6000 price tag

... OUCH

don t think silverstate still builds kits... yeah any gen 1 specific kit is in the 5-6k range.dave pickrels kit was the best for the price,just wish he still sold them.

ahh,ok....i thought either you or bobby was sayin they didn t make kits anymore.

johnnynumber5 · 02-02-2009, 06:34 PM

he told me they did but never called me back with a price on what i was wanting lol. from what i found on here looking at old threads thats they major down fall.

giddyup · 02-02-2009, 06:44 PM

do they build kits for a t6 frame turbo? guess that is what you called about...lol

johnnynumber5 · 02-02-2009, 06:52 PM

no clue. i called back in the summer and asked about hotside only parts. he said he would do that and would figure up a price and call me back. still waiting on that call. found a realy cool adapter on ebay to go from t-4 to t-6 for 30 bucks. but still i dont want to steal your thunder and cut up my hood so the turbo and down pipe will fit. did you get that hood from bobby for your stack yet?

turbodgumby · 02-02-2009, 07:14 PM

Cartech doesn't make a kit for our stuff either. Said Jigs are gone. Said the kits just didn't sell

ehh....u and the dam stack

i was readin on those adaptors..was told that the only benefit is if you already have a t6 turbo and cant afford to get a t4 one,that supposedly the
t4 side will restric it anway.

sorry to hijack the thread....

I am going to put twins on it but time is a factor as far as downtime to fab the kit. Do you have any pics??
