It's a turbo kit, nobody is inventing anything... when some guy makes his own turbo kit in his garage with a design similar to someone else's are you going to post in his thread calling him out? It's getting a little tiring, it's not like these guys went out and bought someone else's kit and tweaked a few pipes and called it theirs, the piping isn't even routed remotely the same as P&Ls...

Not to be that guy but this kit looks 2x as nice as p&l. p&l's kit looks they dropped piping and a turbo into a engine bay and glued it where it landed.

as for people comparing this to other unbuilt, unproven and unpriced kits, its easy to come on the forums and claim to build the cheapest and best, but its yet to be seen.

We will post pics up shortly. The intercooler piping matches the outlet of the turbo. We had to go with a smaller pipe on the hotside to avoid relocating the windshield washer bottle or chopping up the front bumper.

I'm glad you guys know the truth. We did not copy anyone. There is only a few spots on this car to mount a turbo and only one way of really doing it right.

We wanted to avoid having to use a scavenge pump to return the oil and at the same time allow room to run a fresh air filter.

I have some Fullblown parts on my evo and have seen their work before...It is def quality stuff! Numbers aside the other turbo kits i've seen ( haven't seen the dynosty so i can't speak on that) leave alot to be desired in terms of the build quality of the parts. If people are getting butt hurt now wait till around SEMA time, there are a lot more of these cars turbo'ed than people think

Yea, they are no joke when it comes to quality and customer service.
They hold the record for most HP on stock block for an F20.

yea, full blown stuff is awesome. i'm running their dual fuel pump setup in my sti.

RYU · 09-20-2012, 10:59 AM

Any provisions for a heat shield on the exhaust side of the turbo?

Jamifra · 09-20-2012, 11:30 AM

the FA20 has only a few spots to locate a turbo.. i dont think full blown is copying anyone.. (actually looks pretty good) being the first to make a turbo kit for the FA20 doesnt mean that the kit is a unique invention, is the more efficient and/or wont have a revision in the near future.. not trying to hurt no ones feelings here but as @dwx said its a turbo kit is not rocket science..my 2 cents!
