New Turbo Option - Lachute Performance - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm not seeing $7k.
MAF flange location looks iffy, turbo clocking is funky, joints are mediocre, welds look mediocre..
EDIT: It doesn't cut the crash beam, which is a plus. There are only a couple kits that maintain the crash beam integrity.

If I were dropping $7k, it would be on PTuning. But, that's just my opinion.

I like what they are going for, routing wise.

This is exactly what we needed!

Just another Full Blown clone. Looks like they tried to mount the turbo as close to the engine and belts as possible versus Full Blown trying to mount it as far away as possible and closer to the radiator though. I would buy from LJ @FullBlown .

IMO the PT tuning kit is a really reasonable choici. Turbo is far from anything that need to be cool. It has a lot of pinping tho...

7k? For 315 to 325 bhp? Jeez. Seems a little pricey compared to all the other options out there...

That was my first thought too. Flex joints everywhere, even on the dump tube.

Damn Quebeccers and their french..

One part that caught my eye was this:

Quote:

Un réservoir et une pompe de remplacement pour le liquide "lave glace".

Roughly translated, I think that means replacement washer bottle and pump. I hope they sell that separately. Looks much beefier than the Vortech setup

The intercooler looks kinda small

You think this ones a clone, check out the kit CX racing is apparently coming out with. No body is getting creative anymore.

I hear flexjoints on exhaust manifolds are ALWAYS a good idea... or was that the other way around.

cdrazic93 · 06-14-2014, 04:05 AM

I agree that theres alot of clones out there, but you can only mount a turbo in this engine bay in only a limited number of ways.

That being said, I would like to see moar low mount turbo setups plez.
