Turblown Performance
Elliot @ Turblown Performance ( http://www.turblown.net/ ) has been a dream to work with on my single setup.
This is not a thread to try and advertise them, I am not affiliated with the company in that way nor do I benefit at all what so ever from promoting them, I simply wanted to let other people know about this company as a possible alternative for their single turbo endeavors.
I have a web site that I am putting together specifically for the current project I am undertaking. It will include how to's, tools needed, suppliers for specific parts / components, trouble shooting and my personal experiences and opinions of company's, their products & service.
Elliot's customer service has been TOP NOTCH. He always has time to answer questions even when very busy. He sent me a picture of a manifold he fabbed up specifically for my kit and I had some thoughts and concerns regarding it and he agreed and decided to design an entirely new manifold that should prove to be significantly more efficient.
Keeping in mind, the reason for him changing the design of the manifold was not due to an error on his part rather, the FMIC I am running from Extreme Turbo Systems ( another fantastic company Tom is great ), allowed me to retain the stock location of my radiator (which Elliot was unaware of ). Since I did not have to adjust the location of my radiator, this gives Elliot extra room to work with ( shooting for lower temps is the goal )
Anyways, I will follow this up further down the road but for now I just wanted to share with everyone my personal experience with Elliot @ Turblown Performance.
All the pictures I am posting are not final, these are just fitment pictures. ( I have been begging Elliot for pictures to help me maintain composure while I wait ) I love the hard lines for the fuel.
NOTE*** The manifold in these pictures was the old configuration, I will post pictures of the new manifold as soon as Elliot shoots them my way.
****In regards to the yellow car w/ the FMIC --- this is not my car but this is the FMIC I am running --- I chose this kit because the over all installation is very clean. The downsides to this specific application are that you must eliminate the re-bar and the bumper reinforcement so structural integrity is likely somewhat compromised, to what degree I do not know.

Tomorrow
Here are two pictures Elliot sent me from the shop. I am expecting this setup to be delivered some time tomorrow afternoon.
Also included a picture of my fuel (mock) setup --- I still have plenty of cleaning and tidying up to do. I modified my coil pack to fit the FPR that way.
I will be like ol' yellar sitting patiently by the door waiting for the UPS man to arrive tomorrow.

Elliot is a good guy. I dropped my LS1 FD off there today to get the exhaust finished up.
Nick,
Saw your car there... what happened? You should check out my car while it is up there. LS1 install came out pretty dang clean.
