our dollar is so weak against theirs it'd cost us an arm and a leg, fab your own, you have all the resources at your disposal. i'll be glad to lend a hand if you need

tmm syndrome if people get that for our cars and pretty much turbos are turbos definitely better quality and fuller kits seems like they cut parts out to lower the shipping and cost


fyi tmm= too much money

I would be concerned about fitment issues in the engine bay because their steering shaft is on the other side of the engine bay over there...would that exhaust manifold clear? Awfully expensive way to find out. There are plenty of shops who would custom fab a single turbo setup for not much more than that probably.

One of the attractions of buying a productized kit is the fact you could install it over the course of a weekend or 2.

The thread you linked to is over 9 mos old. As of now, it's mainly a collection of parts and build decisions. Understandable, as they are building it from scratch and I'm sure they are busy with work that really keeps the lights on.

NLP is a reputable shop and I will bet it will be completed.

Anyone enlisting a shop to custom build a turbo kit needs to be prepared for extended downtime and bring a lot of patience.

I'm interested in seeing the completed build and I hope NLP follows through and makes a shippable G8 turbo kit.

^^^ That is the ultimate plan. Something available stateside for the G8 community...... mid April for completion....

Idk what looks rough, theres not any body panels really showing...I mean it does have a huge turbo shoe horned in there, looks good to me. Hopefully they post up more about it, looks like its going to be a monster.

Sounds like ****. Lets see how long that motor stays in 1 piece

Actuallly it sounds like that because it was the first ever start and had not done the exhaust set up on it, basically it was an open 4in down pipe right next to the transmission. I have now done the full exhaust to the back just waiting to install my fuel system and meth.

Looks like you moved the alternator to the top next to the throttle body for clearance for the turbo?
