WOW! is that a turbo?

Stealth!

Pod filter is in a stupid place. You wouldnt want to be driving through any puddles

should route the pod inside the car and blast the a/c on it lol

wow thats the first time i've seen this. very interseting.

imagine the lag on it, from the long ass intercooler piping

imagine the lag, and imagine the sound.
That shit would be so loud!

i seen this on a beemer here in syd

not that loud
actually sounds pretty nice

when i researched it... it was a common thing on vipers... i guess they have limited engine room.... i dunno

oh thats the beemer hahaha on that site

I wonder what they get around the oil feed & drain.
It appears that they're not connected in the pic.
Water lines aren't connected either...
This would be an issue with a Garrett GT turbo as the bearing cage is teflon.

how illegal is that :D and check out how gangster the wastegate is haha. i can imagine that popping flames 24/7. he'll definately suffer from that wining noise coming from the rear housing of the turbo,. and were the hell are the water and oil lines? ++ wouldnt that pod filter suck in all that dirt from the rear left wheel? jus imagine a burn out, dusty track or a wet rainy day with some nice deep puddles haha. turbo = gonskies. but far out, thats a unique way of a turbo setup

No cat back exhaust any more its all turbo back now lol
