How many people would buy single hotside kits. Looking to start building a bunch of kits if the demand is there. Everything will be mild steel, can be powder coated high temp. What would everyone want passenger side for more room or driver side. I know t6 turbos are alot cheaper compared to t4.
id be interested especially if it avoids cutting big holes in the sheet metal for the cold side.
its the only thing that has kept me from buying a CX twin kit, i dont want to have to hack up my car. the crash bar i could care lesss about, but cutting the under battery tray and under airbox area is something id prefer to avoid.
I'd definitely be interested in a single setup on the passenger side and the abs relocate. I've been wanting this for a while but don't have the skills to fab it up myself.

Going to start off doing mild steel, then work on a full stainless setup. I dont have a 04 to work with but I can do some research and see what I can do.
This is awesome. My cars been down with a blown motor for over a year and I have been considering a 5.3 front mount build as a less expensive option.
If you could supply a kit or even just the hotside piping that would bolt up with minimal modifications to an 04, preferably driver side (don't really want to relocate abs) and allow me to keep a/c, I would totally be on board. Hopefully by the time you release this I will have the money for my build lol.
This sounds like a great idea though and if the price point is right, I think you will do well. Do want
I know the design will start with the passenger side. Right now I'm driver side and there is no room for anything. Plan on making a simple relocation process.

I guess I didn't specify enough. I want to stay under the power limits of the stock block and rotating assembly. Maybe with a small cam. I do have a set of LS3 heads and a complete take-off crate engine manifold(new).
That kit actually still crosses my mind. I'd like to know what the ceiling might have been for that kit in terms of power production and if it still might be something he'd want to work on. I feel that that ship has probably sailed overall. It has been almost 4 years since anything was added to the thread...
Design it around a 78/75 TC turbo (or precision will fit in there). I'd say stick with driver's side. Front cross over that routes around the AC and then you save the B/S associated with a battery relocate. Single 3" or 3.5" if you can fit DP down to factory mid pipes. Design around a cheapie ebay intercooler that most have decent luck with.
I'd say keep it simple. Nobody is going to want a complete kit in my opinion. Stick to just hot and/or cold piping. Hell, even take a bunch of truck manifolds, weld on v-bands, add a few pieces of cross-over and merge pipes and sell those as a tuner kit. That'll take 90% of the fab work out of the equation and let others pic and choose their options.
Kits have come and gone. By now, those that want them have bought or built them so the market is limited.
Think beyond the GTO market though. If you take a bunch of truck manifolds and weld v-bands to them, GTO guys need them, Corvette guys, Camaro guys, G8 guys, etc. That's what I'd do.
You def hit the nail right on the head. Space on these cars is horrible. Prolly going to make all the kits passenger side mount so battery will def have to disappear to the trunk. I have debated on doing the leg work and maybe putting together a nice battery relocation setup. Actually have a g8, 5th gen camaro, z06 better I can get my hands on. Def running alot of ideas, looking to get a big shop for more production.
