marketing for this vehicle is not hard.
Post pics, price, dyno numbers...get it on a few cars, people will talk and the kit will be "known" |

I just chatted with them and asked for install instructions and pictures. They are going to email me the guide and this was the only picture they had on hand: Looks like heat may be a concern and also the battery most likely needs a relocate.

So you have to relocate the battery for this kit?

Is it not a concern to put the intake in an ideal spot for air flow once it's connected to a turbo?
I've seen a few kits that seemingly place it where it's convenient and never knew how much of a difference it makes.

Having looked at that location for turbo placement, there are way too many sensitive wires in that area for me to feel comfortable putting a heatsink (turbo) there.

If this was $2000, it would be on the radar imo. At the $2,999 base price range, you're better off with a GReddy knockoff like the Zage.

Looking at the price you can go with speed by design turbo kit. Its on sale currently for another 2weeks at 2999. Comes with 3bar map sensor, manifold, 20g Mitsubishi hot side housing, looks like some kind of Garrett cold side housing, all hardware to do at home. Turbo sits infront of the belts similar to full blown or greddy kit, comes with a spd bov anodized in any color u want, comes with a oft tune or ecutek tune. This kit is solid and im about to place my order this week as soon as my card arrives in the mail, @spdbydesignchris

You could most likely get a CF hood with a scoop on it. Im pretty sure there is a few out there that are functional. Maybe even do the mod for the vents on the fenders in conjunction with a molding on the underside to direct the air towards the turbo. Might work...

That intake location doesn't look particularly ideal for air flow.
