you can check a kit out there.
i am not sure if this is the corky bell kit but i tihnk it is because that mani is really short.
i tihnk that could be better though, maybe offer a different package with a head gasket that drops the cr to 10-1 instead of 9-10 and a smallet turbo/intercooler.
overall not a bad kit though.

That kit runs w/ 18 lbs of boost! 
I doubt an F20 would last very long under that kind of pressure.
The Elda kit wasn't going to give you that kind of HP, but it's supposed to run around 5 lbs of boost. A much more practical number.
Unfortunately, the folks at Elda seem to have lost interest. They backed out on their commitment to build the V2 rollbars, and I'm afraid this kit will suffer the same fate.
It would be nice if Wael would at least have the courtesy to update this thread, (considering how many of us have been chomping at the bit). Sadly, the Elda peeps just don't seem to care.
It's really a shame... I've been waiting a long time for this turbo, but I've given up hope.

I was really hoping that something would come out of this...at first, it seemed VERY promising, with Corky Bell's involvement, the months and months of testing, and most importantly (for some of us anyways) the CARB-legal status...
Hell, I even have that issue of Super Street (I think it was Super Street....all these import mags look the same these days) where they outlined the install of the prototype Elda kit....
If this were to work out as a reliable and proven power mod, I definitely would consider selling off my Comptech blower to get one of these...
