I don't know if any of you have seem this or if it can be adapted to fit on a Caprice but if someone has the money it is probably worth a look.

Has anyone looked into these?
Re: Has anyone looked into these?
Thats a pretty cool looking system . I couldn't find a price for it though .
Re: Has anyone looked into these?
Some guy was just selling a GTO around here with that system on it, if I see him around, will ask him how he liked it. I do believe be mentioned he had an upgraded scavenger pump on it. The turbos sit low so you need a pump to return the oil back up to the motor.

Re: Has anyone looked into these?
Looks interesting. I wonder if there would be fitment/clearance issues between the intercooler and the police coolers in the front of our cars. Also don't know if you could use a skid plate with this setup easily... Also the turbos being low might be vulnerable to road debris strikes. But in concept it would get us a very good horsepower boost based on the dyno readings. On a L77 it's practically the same as a L76. Also.... wonder if the AFM lifters would handle the stress. If you're in 4cyl mode and all the sudden you decide to floor it because someone next to ya thinks he's gonna run Grandma's Impala, you don't need snap, crackle, pop.....

Re: Has anyone looked into these?
Nice system! I like it! But the stock cats/downpipes and oil cooler will definitely be a problem (at first glance).
There's more room further back... So if this system were used, my guess it would need to be a complete refit.

Re: Has anyone looked into these?
I found the installation instructions:

I believe you have to contact a dealer for pricing on these kits...I think they are in the 6-7k range (plus install).
I feel like if you had the time and the money you could make one of these kits work and it would be unique. I'd like to see the turbos and pipes jet hot coated before installation to help with the heat and corrosion especially due to their location. I also don't like the air intakes to be below the bumper but I guess you have to take what you can get... It looks like once the kit is installed you have to go custom on the exhaust and cats...Kooks green cats say they are for turbo applications.
