New Turbo Option - Lachute Performance - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It's a turbo kit. I think they went with some alternative routing to keep the air filter in a good spot, but it makes things a bit convoluted. If you don't want to cut the beam, I'd go with FBM or P&L. They are proven kits and available for much cheaper.

i'd NOT buy this kit, and <nothing>

Seems like a lot of unnecessary flex joints. Wouldn't it move around too much?

I really want to see some one do a low mount turbo with a v mount rad/FMIC but theres no way that would work would ditching and cutting half the front of the car.

The rad would go on the top of the V and the fmic on the bottom part allowing for really short piping to the fmic and manifold length since the turbo is also bottom mounted

V-mount FMIC/Radiator?

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 have not read the full thread yet, but 7K Canadian probably
