Correct. The turbo location allows our kit to retain the oem exhaust manifold, front pipe, etc. (only the over pipe is removed).

The location also allows for:
  • short length intake piping to minimize pressure loss/drop and increase boost response
  • better weight distribution (closer to the center of the vehicle)
  • turbo oil drains into the head (no need to remove/tap/replace the oil pan)
The below photo gives you a good idea




And here's an example of the potential using ethanol and bolt-ons.
