Hey, either way I'd love to see this on a crossfire, even if it isn't the greatest design. Somebody do it!
I too was skeptical with the length of piping....HOWEVER one must keep in mind.....the piping is straight. On a front mounted turbo their are crazy amounts of bends creating lots of turbulance. In a sts piping system it is straight with very minimal bends. Also with the piping running under the car it allows the ambient air to continue to be cool unlike having a traditional front mount setup and all the pipes are hot. I experience very minimal lag with my turbo 350z.
I too wanna see what we can come up with no matter what the deign is. I just feel the EASIEST way to bolt on a kit would be a sts system....if it wasnt for the tuning issue i would be all for it.
