Only one way to find out.

Haha, dual duty SRT4/BRZ slicks & skinnies. I bet a 15in rim would fit over the rear brakes but I highly doubt my 13's will fit. Next time we have the rear wheels off a brz/frs I will test fit and see.

Test fit on mine and let's see a burnout video posted

Very interested in this set up! I plan on turboing my car within a year or so but the only one that intrigued me was the Crawford one. That kit requires internals and a lot of supporting mods though. If this can produce over 350whp it has my interest! I look forward to seeing how reliable this set up is and how much the final product is going to be!

The Borg Warner turbos have received so much praise. I'd go with one of those. It's what Nameless Performance uses on their race car if I remember correctly.

I'll probably end up using water/meth injection kit in the near future to keep the IAT's down. I have a feeling a FMIC won't be enough during summer.

I'm also still waiting on this dudes functional fender vent project to see how much hot air we can draw out from that location.

Vented hood, and I will be taking out the fog lights (since I never use them) to have holes in their for my oil cooler.

Also going to get a turbo blanket, and thin spal fans with a custom radiator housing from Full Blown to get more clearance from the hot pipe. That should give about 2in clearance. It also comes with a upgraded radiator core as well.

Then a turbo blanket, and a turbo shroud is probably a good idea. Holes in the front bumper seem to help as well.

Turbo blanket will be a very tight fit with the pulleys near the turbo. The turbo you have has a stainless turbine housing which is considerably more thermally efficient than your typical cast iron housings. If you wanted to go one step further you could have it ceramic coated. The thin fans are a great idea and something we have been recommending to all our turbo customers.

I see, thanks for the info!

One step at a time though.. See you soon

I hope it turns out to be better than you expect. I also hope to see you on the track.

Please let me correct your comment, our turbo kit does not require anything more than any other turbo kit on the market. Boost is boost...

But if you want to make 500 pound feet of torque then we sell all the parts you will end up breaking along the way, and they are all upgrades not part of our kit

Wedding, honey moon and condo purchase is in the way of mods right now. My struts are going out, so I will need to replace those after getting the cooling upgrades done. Then finally on to the brakes, sways, RCA's and DSS rear axles.

I think at that time, I will be comfortable pushing my car at the track. Until then, its a ticking time bomb!
