iv really done it now.... i got a little bit scared actually once the floor was out, it seemed like there was actually less room.. either way, its done. and iv decided the turbo will mount east west, with the cold side facing away from the driver seat.

i looked at mounting it this way, but doing that competely defeated the purpose of putting it there to start with, ie: the equal length piping.

Mate loose some passenger side foot well if your running with this stealth approach...

There's so much room up the front .. I guess P plate laws here ???
You'll need a pump to return oil back to engine...
Two T28's fit there well... Two VF24's of WRX etc...

 

im not doing it to be stealth. i wish that was the reason tho.... would certainly get less criticism thats for sure...

it was a comination of cost, ease of (my) construction, and also, in theory, trying to keep everything equal length for maximum use of the pulse energy as its a split pulse turbo.

all in all, it probably is a very elaborate unneccessary effort, but im prepared to do it (obviously as ive already hacked it up) and IMO, i think im going to achieve quite a responsive and powerful setup.


its a drift car, so no rego and im chasing primarily, quick response (from super short intake piping using a w2a system) and a high potential for outright power.
