Sure as long as you run your air intake thru the firewall and under the dash.

Problem with that charger is the inlet is on the back of the charger. Poses a big problem.

Yeah, what he said. I would love to see someone make it work though. I would put one on my commuter if someone made it work

Re: will this work?

what kind of vehicle does your G/F drive? Others are assuming it is something with the engine mounted front to rear, but it could be a Grand Prix or the like with it mounted side to side!

Do a custom turbo for it. Those motors have no problems handling 10+psi boost from the factory, it's amazing... Teufel Hunden has had his custom turbo kit on the stock motor for over 20000 miles, and it went on at 90000+ miles to start. The car now runs over 15 psi of boost with methanol injection and an air/air cooler, and is still living...

I'm assuming since this is a camaro site, it's probably a V6 camaro.

Here's another thing to think about. On the cars that had an M90 from the factory the injector ports are in the heads. On your V6 the injectors are in the manifold. If you check out some of the Grand Prix websites you'll find some guys that have tried this.
