Default Re: I Need Help With Getting A Turbo

Regardless of caps lime green the f you's or how often this question has been asked a Turbo could be done on our cars shops all over have wanted to do it just none of the cars owners have wanted to sink the money into it. The computer isn't an issue to a real tuner only to someone looking to custom fab it themselves. After me and a friend spent some time looking over the engine bay, a top mount intercooler set up much like the WRX looks like it would work just an idea of course. A custom hood would need to be added but, it would make the pipe from throttle body to intercooler a short effective elbow moving the overflow tank to the battery location and moving the battery to the rear (old trick) would then leave the overflow bottle location open for the turbo. A short bend off the turbo would place the intake in the same location as the needs wings intake is at this point. The return pipe to the exauhst would follow the path of the prior intake until the firewall which it would then duct into the exhaust meeting of the two manifolds. This would keep the turbo above the pan and remove the need for an oil pump like the sts system. There's tuners already tuning our ECU's it would take some R&D once the system was in place to fine tune it but it's doable.
