Hey that'd help me as well! Want to install this turbo kit once it comes out?

Heh. Sounds good. I've got one of their exhausts on order. Hoping it'll (eventually) bolt up to the turbo kit when it's offered.

I'll be running the turbo kit + GReddy Spectrum Elite catback and the rest stock.

I've switched to 3" intake piping and it makes the fitment alot trickier. I wanted to beat me head against the wall when I was making it. The car made me bleed a few times as well

I remember seeing that the side vent as actually designed to be cut out and made functional. Is it possible to relocate the battery and make the filter suck air from the side vent?

You would need some severe cutting to get air through the fender!

Really? On the BRZ you can pop the plastic clips on the trim piece and there's a pretty big open hole. Not sure how airflow would be, but I would imagine you could get some sort of fancy intake thing in there?

I'm not positive but I don't think the idea of the filter placement needs to be based on the cold air it could receive like a CAI but rather a safe place that avoids water and also cutting and fitment issues. Correct me if I'm wrong.

As for the flooding, I live in dallas. We dont even know what rain is

quik1987 · 07-12-2012, 07:41 PM

No, I was talking about cutting out a hole behind the fake vent and making a REAL vent.

Don@Accelerated · 07-12-2012, 07:48 PM

Theres no opening in the engine bay. Just steel!

That defeats the no cut install for this kit.... Also why are peoPle pressed for a ram or cold air into the turbo, it's still going to be performing he same after the intercooler and as far as ram air, you can't ram air into a turbo lol
