Top mount turbo

Recirc waste gate
Huge front mount intercooler
Time attack style short ic piping
3" fender intake
3" exhuast from turbo to tail pipe

After that i left it to the fabricator to design from there. I'm still in shock at the quality thus far.

Kudos to the one off design, it looks like it's pretty nice quality

I'm pretty sure JDL kit has enough options to tick off all those boxes, so hopefully your fabricator isn't charging you too much of a premium for the R&D work

More than any mass produced kit on these forums (minus probably crawford), remember this is entirely custom and there is now "wait time."

It is your custom one off turbo kit. What is there really to discuss? Why did you decide to go with an AGP turbo?

There is much to discuss, This is the Forced Induction section of the forums. I am utilizing a very unique turbo and the community deserves to see the results of this turbo on our platform.

My "design" was very much impacted by other "one off custom kits" on these forums and the more info we have out there for people to review the more educated a decision we can all make.

As to why i chose AGP; The sizing, availability and pricing of this turbo were the stars that perfectly aligned for me at the time of its choosing. I'll be reporting back (hopefully) with a Dyno graph that shows, whp, wtq, boost plot, and hopefully afr's

I posted it in the other FA20Club thread, but @Ryan P was able to get in contact with Toni and get his license.
