The moment that electric pump fails, your turbo is going to be cooked.
So where in the engine bay can the turbo go? There's definitely a place for an FMIC in the bumper (this car's bumper is huge).
I was looking at the space next to the exhaust manifolds but there is not much room there. Maybe room for a T25. You'd need at least a 50 trim T3 to make 450 SAE hp without turbo inefficiency heating up your IAT.
The other alternative I thought of was to use a large single turbo (Holset HY35 or Garrett T72) and put it in front and to the side of the engine.
Does anyone else have any more ideas about where the turbo could go?
Sorry man your just wrong. STS turbo kit on a gto runs 10 second quarter miles on race tires. They are very effective and spool very quickly. Trust me, don't knock one until you have been in one. It is by far the best method to turbo this car.
