Are there any other top mount kits other then ON3 and Paramount Speed? Looking at different kits and more so leaning towards Paramount speed since my local shop refuses to touch ON3 kits because of the experiences they have had with them.

Plan on lowering the car so I would feel more comfortable with a top mount kit.

Doesn’t Hellion still offer a top mount? Or are you looking for just a single turbo?

you have 3 options on3 single/twin paramount twin which is a copy of the on3 but they use proto titan to make the parts so the quality will be MUCH better. They use T4 flanges instead of V Band like on 3. Problem is that kit costs 8800 before you add turbos. Hellion top mount twin. Then you have BL fab top mount single.

You might actually come out better fabbing up your own kit like me with a good fabricatior. problem with top mounts is the exhaust routing, AC lines, coolant lines, steering rod, PCM, and wiring. Something will be in the way. An aftermarket K member will help immensely.

My car is lowered and my headers have touched down on speed humps. I do no want a low mount for that reason and using comps will get you past that but the maintenance would be a bitch down there. no thanks.

Hellion has one, I think Aldo still might have a top mount kit. Or you could go to a shop that has dealt with ON3.

I like the looks of of the ON3 and Paramount speed, obviously there is major cost and quality difference between the two. To be honest I been all over the place when it comes to boost from ESS, procharger, to turbos.

Lol turbo setup will be the most efficient and there are lots of setup options for power curves.

I have an EB supercharger and it's a riot. I want the ability to raise or lower boost.

ESS has been making some waves in the scene lately. The price and ease of install on those kits makes it pretty hard to beat.
When it comes to ON3, there are tons of shops that understand and know the quirks of those kits and can get them installed with little issues.

The on3 stuff is fine if you can work your way around potential fitment issues.

Just be sure to use quality waste gates.

Ton's of options depending on your goals. Single or twin; Armageddon, AldoWelds, BL Fab, Hellion (single or twin) or even the On3 (single or twin).

Comes down to budget and goals. Hit me up and we can get a kit dialed in for you for sure!

Feel free to DM me or call with any questions!

There are many advantages to having them low.
I am of your mind I would want them high anyways.
in the S550 chassis there aren't but a few places to get them installed.

I'm the exact opposite. I would never want them in the engine bay. Way too much heat by the radiator and other plastic components. Down low they take the place of the cats in an area designed to take a lot of heat.
