thats pretty interesting. although i dont like the idea of a hot turbine under the gas tank.

as for what turbo size, i assume you mean by the evolution. it does not look THAT big, but with out any ID labeled, I cant make a guess.

I saw a setup like this on 2 cars locally. One on a Mazda MX-6 and one on an LS1, these things are no bullshit. I'm definately doing it

that's pretty sick . . . never seen that before . . . well except on the twin turbo porsches . . .

Ive seen that before. Its just like any other turbo setup except the benifit of this set up is to the fact that its away from the engine and thats good. Less heat under the hood. Ive seen them allot on them american cars especially for them camero. And its BOLT on too haha. And its high up so you cant scrape it "easily" but yeah haha. And my last "and's" is its bad in that the intake filter is right there so it will pick up more dirt and really badly rain water.

I have this mag at home and can look it up for you if you want.... they also make one for the 3.4 tacoma trucks.

PS. remote mount is stupid.... why would you want miles of pipe running under the car.... thats no more thermodynamically efficient than an air to air.

Sleeper value of it. It costs the same price (or less) if you DIY, and from the engine bay none of it is visible.

You pop the hood and all they see is the intake piping AND factory header. Whats your first guess? CAI. Then you just say "It's just intake and exhaust".

It may not be AS easily seen as normal turbo setup, but to the trained eye, small things stick out like a sore thumb.

Like that HUGE bov in the pic.

and cars don't use brass.

Also you have to have the wastegate and bov under the hood ..... (right)?

Nope. They can go wherever you want them to be
