i do know the truck/rv units (turbo mounted higher and angled) were far more common than the corvette units but jeeze! i have yet to come across another corvette kit (once about 6 years ago...but it was missing a few pieces)...only the truck kits!! the sad thing is only the very early units were made without the AIR/emissions stuff as we are talking about the 70's here lol
hell my carb is a highly modified holley spreadbore...i have yet to see another kit with anything other than the quadrapuke

i do know this...i cant find a whole lotta info about the company/designers/etc...but apparently i have one of, if not the most rare of all the martin turbo systems kits...designed to fit under the stock hood of a corvette... (i pulled it off of a 80k 79 vette YEARS ago after the second owner blew up his second motor on 53/lake cook right near my old shop...like a jasper 350sbc was gonna handle this thing lol)

i need a 79 vette for some vintage underhood patina....:pedobear:
