I made the cross continental passes in the race car....coast to coast as fast as I could...LOL...

Hubie's motor/kit is numero uno....so I think that counts and yes it is the one...

Where is this SPI Place???? Where would I have to take my car to get it done? Seems they aren't in New Jersey. Well, it's one crazy kit, thats for sure. Keep thoughts and stuff coming! Thanks so much for your help guys,

Chris

I think Hubie's on a road trip right now, so he may or may not be checking emails. Just didn't want you to get frustrated waiting for a quick reply.

Has anybody asked if it is possible to buy a twincharge kit as seperates,
i.e. buy a piece at a time so as to spread out the cost over some time or just to buy parts you need like the header?????

There's only a few things you can get and install without installing the whole kit. Other things pretty much go with the kit and need to be installed concurrently (kinda hard to install the downpipe but not the turbo, or put on the exhaust manifold without the blow-off valve, etc.)

You can probably get and install the following.
* larger injectors
* larger Intercooler
* APEXi Select II (still need to retune it after installing the turbo stuff)

Things that go on together:
* down-pipe
* turbo
* exhaust manifold
* Intake system (air to turbo)
* piping, with Blow-Off Valve, from turbo to the tb

Things to consider installing, but are not part of the kit
* freer flowing 2.5" or 3" exhaust
* uprated pistons
* gauges (boost, water temp, etc.)
* uprated brake system

You'll need to email Hubie (see email above) to see if he has a partial delivery plan like what you're after.
