  • where to mount turbo???/

    okay i had a fellow enthusiast go over my turbo plans and they believe that I should run the turbo solely of the front exhaust manifold and have it dump back into the crossover pipe so i would not have to get a custom downpipe and a rear manifold. I already have a spare crossover pipe that I could mount the turbo onto. I argued the point that the turbo would not be operating efficiently if I did this, although it would save some cash and give me an easier mounting option. What do you think?

    i wouldnt do that, you can get a second front manifold and flip it backwards, it should bolt up. Or you can block of the exit on the stock rear manifold. Make your custom crossover and downpipe.

    You may find you have more room to work with if you re-locate your battery.

      Reluctantly agree.

      Do me a favour, who ever suggested that, kick him in the nuts.

      Obviously not a turbo guy.
