Does the intercooler require removal of the front bumper brace?

What does the routing of the piping and placement of the turbo look like?

Thanks.

No chain pulling...I am just just inexperienced in re-sizing pics...sorry for the delay.

We will begin to post updates on the web site shortly. www.turbonetics

I know it's difficult to see from this pic but the drivers manifold and passenger manifold are tied into a "Y" just below the driver manifold. in the pic you can see a v-band connection just before this connection.

Our art department is re-sizing additional pics that would give you a better view.

a) Does the sytem allow connection to the OEM dual CAT configuration?

b) will Turbonectics seek a CARB EO#?

Thanks for the quick response...I see the v-band connection cant wait to see more pics..
will there be a need to move some of the accesories inside the engine?
and also when is the projected release date for the kit?

This first system will not allow for the use of EOM dual CAT configuration and therefore will not be able to meet CARB requirments.
There will be continued work in developing a CARB certifiable system with aftermarket CAT's down stream of the turbo.

Thanks a bunch for the quick responses. I was curious as well, how this system will mate to the exhaust system and how those of us that had gone true dual might be affected.

Thanks in advance


***Edit****

I guess that got answered....

so for the first systems is a seperate exhaust system required?

Very interesting photoshop, not sure if this will fit, also missing the AC Compressor, and the belts and pulley up front. Hope all works out and more FI choices for the market.


edit: Actually based on the position of the Turbo and the piping not sure if the AC compressor will fit but just my guess.

We had tried a couple exhaust set up on the car and believe it or not so far the stock exhaust has worked to best. One aftermarket system with bafle produced 363whp at 8.3psi, non-baffled at 8.3 psi produced 386whp and stock went to 406whp at 8.3psi.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks great!!! Will this turbo kit have room to go higher boost if I have a built motor? I am looking to have 500+ RWHP.

Thanks
