We are the parts supplier a bunch of muppets, not mechanic.  We can try our best to help with generic questions, but it is best to consult a professional turbocharger installer with specific questions.

There are no installation instructions included.  The install is simple and most customers install it themselves in a weekend.

PMSL 

The piping needs to be fitted up.  Because of the bends and couplers included, it should be simple.

PMSL again. 

capable of producing well beyond 485 horsepower at 25+ PSI*

*- When this $1k collection of junk is bolted onto a $25k blueprinted engine.

I wonder who would try to fit this to their car,it only has 1 turbo and as such would be unbalanced on a v6 motor or do i have it wrong in thinking that you would need 2 on a v6 1 per cylinder block

Thats what I thought

It has been done before but you'd need to consider that the engine will be asymmetical and you'd need to tune the 2 banks separately due to the extra work being done by one bank in spooling the turbo.

These guys don't even seem to have considered that it needs engine management, though, so I guess it's no problem for them. 

Easier to package, perhaps, but it would be far better to use 2 smaller turbos that will spool up quicker than to use one huge turbo that throws away half of the energy in the exhaust gases anyway.

To the majority of people it would be like giving them a 5000 piece jigsaw without a picture .

from what i remember rightly from years ago when i had a vec v6 there was someone trying to do a turbo conversion but was having problems with feuling as it was to hot under the engine bay so he decided against it and went the supercharger way which was alot better from what i can remember

and he still holds the best score in the total vaux rolling road shoot out list
