I made the manifolds so there is a cross over from the drivers side on the standard manifolds attached to passenger side with the turbo mounted directly above the passenger manifolds generally were the air intake sits. I was going to go infront of the engine but its too squashy with the snout in the way and a large turbo. I just found it easier to...

hey mate Dick rang me he said his 3 bar software is ready so all I have to do is drill and tap the LIM for the IAT sensor and ring him up. The only thing stopping me from doing more drag racing is my fear of the gearbox letting go. Just something I noticed. I tried running the blower with the bypass open all the time and the turbo spool time decreased by 500 rpm with the blower free spinning cool hey! so full boost by 3000rpm

I think, when I was speaking to Luke, He was saying to use the ecotec manifolds, and reverse them, so the outlets are facing forward, then make a crossover between the manifolds in front of the engine, and then chuck ur turbo on one side or the other. I don't see why this wouldn't work. I'd suggest some sort of bracing to support the whole shebang ofcourse. This summer looks like it's gonna be a lot of parts chasing

so ho did it go??? and what turbo as needed

i would be working on keeping it simple the KISS method never fails LOL. turbo into charger out via air to air charger mount through big 300x600x100 or 115 front mount air to air cooler back in through the throttlebody mounted on air to air charger mount on the drivers side that way you can run a BOV before the throttle body to kep the system primed for quick respone when the pedals stomped down .water to air is good if you can keep the water...

oh could the timing be any better? I dare say no! Please give us some info on what you're using and how it's all set up!! Dont tease us! Luke, looks like it goes intake>turbo>cooler>supercharger>inlet manifold, yes?

Especially if theres a transmission cooler aswell. But keep it compact enough and it should be fine. And maybe put an extra fan infront of the trans cooler to keep decent airflow to the engine radiator. i was saying if you added another...

Should be the best of both worlds there Owen. 60ft and top end you lucky fella
