Default Re: Turbo Project about to begin but decision needed

There are channels on each side under the car. I didn't trace trace the lines but the ones in the right side channel look like brake lines. If they could be relocated, oval pipe in the channel might cure the ground clearance issue. Getting the charge into the engine compartment is the next problem. With a V8 in my car the only way is to run the pipe under the front A arm near its pivot point then under the radiator and up behind the grille and into a intercooler. The charge pipe would then run into the engine compartment through the stock opening on the passenger side and look like a single Needswings intake to the throttle body. If the brake lines were just moved to the side out of the channel it would probably be OK as long as you don't damage them by a scrape. They possibley could be run under the rocker panels to allow that channel to be used by the charge pipe.

I agree that the T70 would be too big and lazy for the V6. The recipe I posted was for my V8 powered car. I was considering this turbo or a 67mm turbo with a .68 A/R for my V8 in a rear mount setup. BTW, Master Power is out of business. Some new units are still floating around on Ebay. Don't forget guys that I am getting this kit too! While I am shooting for power close to the SRT for the V6, you should be able to guess what my goals are for my car
