You can't go wrong with one of trents kits, it makes install easier and it will fit and look alot better than anything your going to piece together.

The S400's with the T4 bolt in where a GT42 does on the PPE 42 kit. You have to deal with the oil inlet, but it's not bad. This is how I tested S400 chargers.

seems to good to be true??? what do yall think?

I'm pretty sure that's a mistake on their site. The retail for the GT42 install kit is like $1600.

I used the PPE kit for my 472, with the wastegated pedestal spacer. You will also need a new or modified y bridge also along with new IC tubes. The oil supply in the PPE kit will work just fine, but it's from the stock location. The oil cooled turbos require more oil opposed to the GT42 that is watercooled. So it's better to plug the stock location and the supply off the side of the block. You will also need to modify your stock exhaust and weld a bigger V-band onto it so that it will connect to the PPE downpipe.

Thats what I told you in the beginning!

Trent has everything, from the charger to the pedestal bolts.

I pieced my kit together and then about a year later Trent's single kits came out. Wish I could have gone with a kit from the beginning...in the end its just a better choice in regard to both time and money spent. I spent a few hundred on parts I didn't even end up using on my kit, fittings, etc.
