Re: check out this turbo setup.
I personally think thats a pretty awesome setup, nothing to do with being "different" either, know about ---- before you talk about ----....half the kids on here have never even driven a turbo car w/ the exception of their moms volvo...not to mention the percentage of losers who dont even have cars....to say remote mount turbos have lag is talking out of your ass (considering most of you have probably never driven a remote mounted turbo car, or seen one in action) neither have I nor am I claiming to have...physics makes it seem as if their would be turbo lag but the kits are designed ways for certain reasons, no ones gonna pay 5 g stacks for a kit if you get full boost at 8k, think about it

Re: check out this turbo setup.
a lot of people who do have the STS systems get them because they lack the space in the engine bay to fit the turbo and all of the components. Its not a very good system compared to a turbo on manifold system with the shortest possible piping route, not to mention you want to have the exhaust at a high temperature because it is still expanding over the turbine blades, while if you have a remote mounted turbo the exhaust gas has already started cooling making it harder to spool the turbo...

Re: check out this turbo setup.
All in all thats true, this setup looks pretty good, charge piping would be a pain compared to normal standards...if all turbo kits were done this way it would be considered a pain...we're just use to the normal turbo on manifold set up and the way the piping usually goes....also a lot of people do remote mount turbo setups...on a c6 non zo6 vette at 8-10 psi it netted 550 some odd wheel hp....so it does seem to work well (for those who need to do this type of setup..realizing that is a v8, but point made)....and as for the heat and turbo thing..turbos do not like heat...look at what happens when you do stupid ---- like top speed runs on a turbo car, not to mention its going to take a lot more to cool that hotter air before it gets back to the throttle body...so at the same time you have to realize the ups and downs of both setups...I'm sure the charge going into the throttle body would be a bit cooler on a remote mount kit as opposed to a turbo on mani set up

Re: check out this turbo setup.
Is that a fuel filter on the return line??
Cool lookn' kit but the fab seems a little much for the benefeits. |
Re: check out this turbo setup.
i think he is just running the fuel the other way through the fuel rail so the feed is on the right and return is on the left

Re: check out this turbo setup.
ive always heard people biotch about the rear mounts long charge pipes...i dont see where it would be any worse than a set up like mine. i come out of the turbo behind the headlight through the hole in the side around the front and abck up the other hole with a 12x31x3 intercooler...thats a LOT of square footage to cover in such a short time. run a small intercooler and there wouldnt really be as much more space between the compressor and the TB as everyone makes out to be

Re: check out this turbo setup.
Looks like a great intake manifold heater to me. :-\

Re: check out this turbo setup.
more pics of how the piping is routed would be cool...different for the sake of being different sometimes is cool, but it seems like this one would just be more of a headache
