custom is the only way to go for turbo....you have to build it around what you want
yeah i bought everything seperate.i'm only at roughly 900 dollars and the only thing i have left to buy is a boost gauge and some couplers
:).i think i did fairly well.i'm not sure if i'm going intercooler but subachad advised me that it would be in the best interests if i didn't want a blown motor :lol: so we'll see.im glad that eveyone is showing support thanks alot
wow nice
yea id have to agree with subachad on getting an intercooler....it doesnt have to be that big or even new, you could try and find an intercooler for a stock turbo car.Quote:

As from a non rally standpoint... I think it's more practical for a street car for the same reasons. If I catch my lip on a curb or the ground (lowered) I don't want to have to worry about a boost leak. More importantly, I don't want to have to worry about all those nasty little bits getting into the intake if it does bust open.
Though I haven't really looked to see if there is room in the engine compartment for a side mount and piping.
As for a road and drag racing car it probably doesn't make too much sense. A front mounted intercooler is probably much better at cooling the intake air. There's also a lesser (none) chance of a HEUG JUMP (drag racing totally needs a jump at the end... kind of like a slip and slide) or an impact that wouldn't end your race anyways.
i haven't gotten that far yet,but we'll see.
