JS LSX Turbo complete kits...anyone heard of this?

If your thinking about turbo-ing the lsx in that big body chevy you have a more room than just about anyone for options.

If it were me I would take the time to build my own with reverse truck manifolds or buy a kit based off that. Those log manifolds dont look all that enticing to me. The idea of a "turbo kit" is kind of funny when you think about.

I'm not worried about room at all. That thing has a huge engine bay. I would like the turbo to sit right about where the intake filter is. I see some guys having their turbo sit in front of the motor but the motor is sitting a bit more forward than the 350 was and I would like to keep the truck accessories. The truck doesn't have a/c so don't have to worry about that. Have to find a good intercooler that'll fit behind my grille. The truck is lowered and im still running the stock pan. I may go with an fbody pan. I gotta see where the crossover pipe would go too. I'm running 2.5 dual flowmaster exhaust...I gotta see how that's going to work too. Just so many things to think about.

On the cold side before the throttle body.
