The kit was from ESP and was close to 6K.

There will be another kit on the market soon that retains all accessories, etc.
Be patient
I think I just pee'd a little.

Prototype kits are being made now. We hoped to have a car at the Nats with a kit on it but it didnt work out. Im hoping to have 2 test kits in my hands within the next 3-4 weeks. One kit we'll use for testing, the other kit we'll use for creating jigs, etc.

Our kit shouldnt be 6k but it wont come with turbos or engine management. I think (take that with a grain of salt) the stock ECM will work on it even without putting a Translator Pro on it but the Pro is a big part of the plan.
The unit should accept any kind of T3 turbos from stock all the way up to TE63Es.

I have thought about a TT setup for my car while I am in the middle of this build. The only thing is, this set up can run low 10s and possibly high 9s without a problem.
Now, why would I want to spend the money to twin the car? I already have 15k in the build and I haven't even bought the FAST yet.
Of course, I would be the only one with that kind of setup, but it that worth it?
Opinions....

that was the lamest thing lol. Low ball numbers to start out with to show a huge gain. It made like 370ish hp and 400ish torque to begin with, when it had a Te63 turbo, 50s, ported irons, cam, stall etc...... That should be enough to put out close to the 500 rwhp on a dynojet running the 24 psi and 23 degrees of timing they claimed to have run the original setup on. Twin turbos are cool as a novelty thing or just to be different but why completely reinvent the wheel when it rolls so well with a single setup.
Just like anything else. The market will dictate if this product is a success or not. I do not think they are making this venture based on novelty. It will be interesting to hear about the performance of this product.

Dont forget, guys.. this isnt my first venture into this.
The main thing is the spool time.. small twins spool like an NA car and pretty much negate the need for anything over about a 3000 stall converter, at least for MOST normal street applications. You could run two stockers in twin configuration with a stock torque converter if you really wanted and it would have perfectly acceptable spool time.
There's another advantages as well, plus, well, it looks really cool.

I still haven't gotten my issue yet!:frown: Everyone is telling me about it, but I want to see it! We have two GNs at the shop with ESP Twin Turbo kits installed and running. The gentleman from the article decided (wisely) to build up his bottom end. We are doing that now. Another ESP Twin Turbo project is in the works, but is having chasis work done first; he want 1,500 hp. Our R & D car was at the '07 Nat's in KY and ran 10.1 @ 134 (133.9) mph. We took runner up in the class due to loosing the governer spring in the 2004R. We expect 9's at E-Town in July, EFI Shoot-out. We'll be running the MAGNA events on the east coast.
We have plans for our A/C kit. Some are interested and we did offer them a deal to be the first. We're just waiting for a customer to step-up with their car. The deal is open to the first to step forward. Call if interested. There is a photo on our site, but many have told us that the photos don't do our ESP Twin Turbo kit justice.
Thank you for your interest and positive comments.

It's both. We offer an ESP 800 Twin Turbo kit and an ESP 1200 Twin Turbo kit. What you've seen in the GM High-Tech August issue is our 800 hp kit. We have had requests to customize the kit with true dual exhaust and other things I can't mention 'til they are complete.
Hope this helps you.
