Doing more work on the turbo kit...

Started the DP. I was going to have it exit on the pass. side originally, then moved it to the dr. side, thats why the dp looks like it does. Cast manny's...T67...2.5 crossover pipes...3" DP.

Re: Doing more work on the turbo kit...

so if we figure that i have the turbo sitting the opposite as you do... and have the DP going where your air filter is... then this design would work even better and be cleaner? because then you would not have to have the DP run under where you did it.

Dont know if it would necessarily perform better, but it would be much cleaner and easier to fab!

it tis good work... so you should support him and buy it, put down some amzing power... and let him continue making turbo kits

Should work well to a certain power level, then i believe that DP would become a HP restriction. It tlooks well and I love how you jump in and just get **** done. But then again having something sitting there for mach-up helps a lot.. lol

Yeah, the DP will become more restrictive once you start putting some serious air thru there. If it were a smoother transition where it 90's up and goes over he k-member, it would be better. You'l be in great shape when you do yours since you'll have the turbine outlet facing the right way.

Mocking up outside the car is much easier

You think bryan will be able to throw a decent mailorder tune out? I mean i dont even care if it is tuned pretty rich to be safe... because it still will be a new car with 6psi...

I think so. I would load the tune and check the part throttle and see how it reacts. Then hit the dyno for some WOT runs (and check A/F)....

Driver's side would be fine, but on the pass. side the flange runs into the motor mount and needs to be cutoff...
