Kiss the belts goodbye unless you do some serious heat management on the turbine.

im no expert, but something tells me the belts will be fine unless that turbo gets hotter than the engine that belt is right next to.

How complicated is it to dismantle a turbo setup? I'm concerned that accessing the belt/pulley may be difficult with this...
Side Note: I'm waiting for the first builder to get a 400whp kit done so I can get mine already!!!

Looking at the setup right now it looks like the belt can be removed without having to touch any of the turbo.

regardless I don't think that angled turbo looks good, the angle is just enough to look like a manufacturing mistake and I don't think it would be that hard to make it parallel to the ground. |
