Stand alone and touch screen are sold individually...With some of the other cables (still on order) I'm lookin' @ roughly $800ish + some extra materials I'll need to mount the touch screen and so forth. So about a grand for everything. You can get the units assembled, or the kits (unassembled) for less if you dont get the kit with the ECM case (shown below on the right).

This is the unit layed out on a grid the larger squares are 1"x 1" to show the dimentions of the two units. (unassembled).

I DO NOT recommend this type of kit for those who have little or no knowledge of how to work with individual electronic componets and/or their assembly.

Also ordered, boost controller, plug and play pig tail connecter, extra 23" length labeled wires for megaII, Performance fuel pressure reg, and USB adapter wire for touch screen to ECM connection, and boost mod kit..

F*^K no deal have to keep looking I guess. My other option is rebuilding my auto. I'm going to look into the 4t65e aswell. The alternative is building a 282 5spd, a stock one would never hold up to my motor boosted..UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!

I love to see a v6 with tons of power. Where did you get your turbo kit from? Thanks.

Mirage Power out of CA. They carry them on egay but you have to watch out for some of their turbo kits.

Thanks for the quick reply and good luck with the build.

Also one of the main issues I've heard about Ebay turbos is oil leaks into the boost outlet. This is most likely due to dumbies not using an oil presure reducer b4 feeding oil to thier turbos.. The ones I've got carry a replacement warrenty aswell.

No prob, and thanx.

**Motomas** · 08-21-2009, 10:30 PM

Yeah I've been looking for a turbo for a little while and definetely looking for ones with good warrenties especially since this will be my first turbo.

Nice! If you're new to boost get some good folks to help you with it. There are good folks here that can help aswell. LS1.COM is definetly good place to start. I've got a buddy who's gonna help me tune her when I get her finished. Starting with low boost and work my way up to desired level without losing a ton of reliability. @ least that's the goal anyway.lol

Lots of stuff still to do. Gotta get a trans yet or my old one rebuilt to handle the motor. Then pull the front end off and start the fab work for the intercooler and piping. Then just to name a few things here, relocate the battery, winddhield washer, rethink a coolant rez, build the exhaust, the ecm, etc etc etc. Right now it's all about buying parts and so fourth, so I have it all @ the time of placeing it all back into the car. Plus I think I'm going to build my own intake from scratch aswell. On and on it goes lol. It's a massive undertaking to say the least. Mostly due to the lack of space under the hood and a nearly non existant after market for the TDC.

Wow hopefully you won't run into any major problems. And your definatly one of the few that is doing it on a 6. Maybe one day with the bad economy and bad gas prices there will be more market in this. Good Luck
