Thank you @WORKS!

I'm out here in CA so I hope your CARB certs go well too!

Can't wait to see this kit in action, just the amount of oomph this car needs!

Again, as dumb as it sounds, even though it's just replacing one overpipe with another and retaining both factory cats, it's technically still not street legal. Hopefully they'll "do the right thing" and make this kit CARB legal though.

That's what I meant and I ale meant to say the front pipe. Look at the picture there front pipes are replaced. He even says they are coated too. I always thought if any of the stock cats are replaced you can't get carb approval.

What pictures are you referring to? the dyno graph? I think the actual production kit retains it. I know for a fact the stage 1 at least only replaces the over pipe.

Really, how are you going to miss this and they stated the over pipe AND front pipes are replaced in another posy

No...they stated that the car on the dyno had aftermarket over pipe and front pipe, not the kit itself. How did YOU miss the very first post:
Our WORKS Stage 2 Turbo Kit is nearing completion so it's time for its own dedicated info thread.

As things progress we will update it with more information and answer your questions as best as possible!
For now, a smattering of development photos and specs to whet your appetite.

Cheers,
WORKS Motorsports

• Air-to-liquid intercooler
• 30 row radiator
• 9.25"x3.5"x3.5 intercooler size
• ~12 psi peak boost
• Retains factory airbox & exhaust system (only the exhaust overpipe is removed)
• In process of obtaining CARB exemption

[WORKS]

Regarding the exhaust system, both of our kits only require the removal of the over pipe.

Cheers.

@WORKS If you need someone in CA to run the kit through its paces at track days in the hot socal weather let me know and I'll be happy to run it and log data for you! haha

Any differences in handling characteristics since the passenger side engine room brace can no longer be used?

We've done multiple track testing sessions with and without the passenger side strut brace mounted and our drivers have not noticed a change in handling characteristics.

For those interested in additional bracing, we have confirmed that the Whiteline KSB652 strut tower brace will fit with our Stage 1 Turbo Kit. We imagine that bar will also fit with Stage 2, but have not had a chance to confirm.

Cheers.

Cool. Thanks for answering. Waiting for that CARB approval

Nice numbers! I'm not sure yet when I'll be able to get my intercooler on, but I'm hoping @moto-mike will be able to get a similar result out of my setup!
