Re: BEGi Turbo Kit information/discussion thread
Interesting photos. Is the steel charge pipe final or just mock up. I can see that if you need to make a bunch of kits that the steel would be the better choice to be using to duplicate parts from. Also if steel is OK to use it would be stronger under the car where it is venurable. Taking the charge pipe under the front cross member is mandatory, No other way to get the charge to the front. He did a nice job around the sway bar. I am dissapoint at how they enter the engine bay. This rules my car out my car as that room doesn't exist on my car. I thought the plan was to use an intercooler that entered and existed on the same passenger side and then use the existing opening on the passenger side where the stock air tube is. Maybe they didn't know that the plastic piece in that hole is removeable which then makes a nice big passage way? Or maybe they could get the intercooler that enters and exits on the same side to work/fit? I see that he did use a muffler. I argued with him over this. He hates the sound of an unmuffled turbo. My idea was to use long dual resonated tips, kind of like mini glass packs. I had this on one of my tubo cars and it sounded alot like the ansa mufflerr but with no back preasure.
