I hear what your saying. I've spend some time tearing into my SRT6 - so I often look at things a little differently.

Our SC'er bolts (and ports) directly to the intercooler. There is no way you'll be able to induct added the turbo charge air into it.



If you try to tap in after the IC (say right before the manifolds) you'll then have SC lag as it tries to compress air in the pipe back to the turbo - until the turbo catches up. Unless you devise some big one-way check valve.

If you run the charge air from the rear mounted turbo under the car, (perhaps where the resonator was) you'll either drag the added pipe or perhaps run it next to the exhaust pipes (sounds hot to me) - unless you plan to run it through the interior.



I'm not saying it can't be done - just seems like way to much $$, added weight and added points of failure that our ECU won't handle to reduce a little parisitic drag.
