lower mounted turbo options?
 
i want a lower mounted turbo kit b/c it looks so much more subtle, factory, and i like a nice engine bay but don't like to show off my power mods too much.

so i was wondering what are our options for lower mounted turbo kits? i know we have AVO, but i cant find any others

That might be a lower mounted turbo but doesn't really fit in as far as subtle... pipes running every which way.

Edit: Avo Turboworld

If you're going more a modest boost in power, the cleanest most subtle is going to be AVO. Even then you are not going to trick anyone into thinking you don't have a turbo.

Turbo will never be subtle because of the intercooler if you are trying to duck the police or car inspectors, few if any will not be able to tell. If you are looking for subtle because that's how you like the look then yeah, the AP and AVO are your options, even so like it has been said, you really won't be fooling anyone.

Also: This doesn't look factory?!!? ;)

You can also buy one of the low mount kits and try to piece together some intercooler piping (maybe from stock turbo vehicles?) and re-route it to your liking.

An idea I have been toying around with since I am in ca.

I prefer the idea of a low-mounted turbo setup for weight distribution reasons. Not that the GTX28 and stainless v-band housing I wanna use will weigh that much, but still.
