I was tempted to BUY a BBS turbo kit, but the guy has no dyno sheets to back up.
I like the kits, sounds great, price is right....but....where.....is....the.....proof

Im very close to having mine running. Edguardo has been very helpful, the header pipes he builds are awesome. Im not sure what numbers you are after, it really depends on the setup. Plus couldnt some one crank up the boost, rip a great dyno but have a car that isnt drivable in fear of it blowing up? Dyno numbers just don't seem feasable to me when there are so many variables. Instead look at the package itself and its potential. The kits give you the pieces to put out big numbers but you have to put it on the right engine setup.
On a side note I havent been able to reach him lately. He has had some type of family issue. I went with a larger turbo for my setup and that turned out to require a special bracket for the alternator. The stock one wont fit... hhe was supposed to send that to me several months ago. I ended up fabbing up my own. anyone else tried to reach him lately?
Here are some pics of my setup... Ill have dyno #'s some day but again its all based on the setup. Im doing it with a superram which will be different than most folks... mainly becasue I already had it.

Thanks for the info. Which set up do you think would be better the twin turbo set up or single turbo. Either one will be the street kit because this car will be driven around town so I'll be running P.S. and A.C. I'll be building a 350 specifically for this purpose.

Its coming... in phase 2. lol. Ive been planning a boosted motor for some time but when my 383 grenaded I had to do it sooner than expected.
91formula2463: Im by no means an expert but to me for street use you might as well go wit ha single. Less parts to deal with, still great performance, cheaper, easier just not quite as cool looking

I am very happy with the header I bought from BBS. As far as proof. I ran 11.2 and 120. 12 lbs of boost. 3800lb car.

what is the difference between the 60-1 turbo and the 62-1 turbo? Also what kind of ECM upgrades should I do?

My kit is sitting in Customs right now . It seams things you look for in power adders of this magnitude .....is quality ! Like said above ...you can crank it up as you like but .....
I got the 650 hp single kit with the ceramic coatings option . They got 537 rwhp on their project car. With only 6 psi of boost
what could I say ....I was sold .
