Possibly... Trying to stay away from a front mounted setup due to cooling issues that arise. It's p tuning or have something custom fabbed.

Does this include a larger intercooler? What is the hp rating on the one provided in the kit?

Our intercooler uses a true Garrett GT core, which is good for 550 hp. Note too that it fits without cutting, slotting, or modifying the bumper beam in any way. In addition, our intercooler assembly does not push down on the lower plastic bumper cover either. Basically, the front bumper cover will fit back on like stock.

A few more goodies have now been completed.

Our CNC machined, anodized, billet aluminum turbo oil return plate kills a few birds with one stone. We can now replace the factory block off plate with a billet piece that won't leak like the flimsy OEM formed metal piece. We also negate the need to tap and weld a fitting onto the factory oil pan, which can often be a PITA. :happy0180:

Proper put together and built turbo kit right here.. I'm happy with my choice and it isn't even installed yet :-) I have a feeling the GT30r is the FA20 motor's "sweetspot" BTW @ptuning are we all still on for end of August-ish?

Oh it also helps that the GT30r happens to sound absolutely glorious when it spools

Did you figure out the strut tower bars? Does this kit relocate the window washer bottle to the battery?

Also, is there any possibility that the oil line going to the turbo could be hit or damaged? It points downward, just wondering if on a lowered car it is possible to accidentally hit that blue fitting.

What is the timeline if someone were to order say, in a week or 2?

We are doing everything in our power to try to meet that date, but we may need to push into the "ish" part of the time zone just a little bit. The wait will be worth it though.

From our estimates, we'd say that any bar that fits the Innovate SC will have zero problems clearing our intercooler pipe. This would include the Whiteline and Cusco strut bars and eventually our strut bar too. The oil lines will not be an issue since they all sit well above the factory bottom tray, which is retained with our turbo system. We're looking at an early to mid September delivery time frame at this point.
