Installed my SBD turbo kit today (pics)
 

I realize this isn't a new kit or anything, but I thought it would be nice to have more close up pictures of the kit and the fitment. I also changed a few little things, for looks mainly and to help combat the heat. Ive got a drift armor front crash bar coming in soon to help with airflow, and I have some ideas about the front grill I want to try.

Install took about 8 hours, with my buddy Chris giving me a hand. This also includes pulling the manifold to clamp the lines, cutting the bumper beam, and a short burrito break. The fitment is great, and even after guessing where to mount the BOV(had the flange welded on the day before) it fit nicely.

It's hotter than when I initially did my install and I haven't put much into extra heat management except an Apr cooling plate.

I will cost my piping tho. Looks great!

Looking forward to numbers/impressions after the tune...

Did you not upload the base map? I've been running the map SBD ships for months now. I'll get a custom tune when I swap to flex fuel.


I should get on that now! :D

I'm going a little different direction with the tune. I will be hoping for results by Friday.

Looks awesome!

some tight clearances there! excited to see numbers

Am I the only one that think this kit looks super Chinese made?

Am I the only one that thinks China has a lot of Asians?

Who cares...

The part that makes it look cheaper to me, is the filter. Other then that, I upgraded all the clamps to t-bolt because I don't trust the other style, but the rest of the kit is actually well made for the price. And its made in Taiwan.

Psst, did you know your car is made by non-americans to?

Op makes a great post, with detailed pics and an honest impression, and this is the shit you post. If you have something against products made in other countries, save that shit for when you're not posting something that is visible to the entire world.

Made some good progress man! Let me know when you get our catch can and how it looks:thumbsup:

Looks awesome! I can't wait to see what numbers you get.

I'm thinking of making custom intercooler piping for my FB kit similar to your setup. much cleaner.

Now we can ride around SR boosting together! haha
