I agree, we need to be seeing kits with efficient S/Cs. I've heard a lot of good things about screw and roots, though I've never driven a car with either myself. -Mat Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't exhaust noise going to be quite easily tunable? Just run the exhaust you want, or stock... It's not like this is a turbo where parts of the exhaust are a part of the kit... |

I don't get the fear of having a turbo mounted low. There is a skid plate under the car anyway.

It will be worth watching the low mount turbos long term reliability for those who live in wet climates. A 10" of water on a low level crossing will almost submerge some or part of the low mount turbos, I am sure one dunking wont hurt but repeated dunkings could bring some nasty issues

Its my understanding that the skid plate protects all of that.

The skid plate is just a sheet of molded thin plastic?
