can wait to finally take this for a spin tomorrow...

not final design yet.. what do you guys think?

PMok · 05-17-2013, 03:36 AM

looking good... did you have to give up one of your triangulation braces? plan on doing anything to compensate for that, or you think it won't be missed?

i plan to put a strut bar to compensate. im still trying to see what strut bar will clear the turbo. right now the cusco is the tallest one available in the market. but there is still a small chance of it not clearing. if all fails, a custom one will have to be made

Looking good JR! Yeah, first thing I thought of was "wait a minute, are you missing a support brace?" If you're planning on having a custom strut brace made, might as well get a custom support brace (taller, but thicker/stiffer material to compensate?) that way you have a nice complete triangle and avoid that (potentially) non-symmetrical response.

If its going to be sold as a kit IMO it should come with a custom replacement brace. The fab on that should be cake vs. building a turbo kit.

Looks good. My only concern would be the heat that comes off that turbo is crazy hot. I hope you don't have issues with that battery so close to the turbo or any close wires or fuel lines.
