The next kit will be a twin scroll setup with a GT30R with a custom turbo manifold. This will eliminate the factory header completely for our custom exhaust manifold. Intercooler will be upgraded as well from the current kit. This will allow for shorter charge pipes and better filter placement.

The charge pipe can be brought forward but create so awkwardness for support and intake length. The extended tube will slow entry speed from our past experience the best length has always been 6-8" but sometime that cant always be accommodated. The bay in all cars are actually designed to promote flow from front to rear. Most people dont pay attention to simple details such as the radiator fan on a fwd car always has placement on the transmission side so air passes easily over the transmission as opposed to engine side. The rear tunnel in this car is quite spacious and will allow for passing air to actually cool the the motor tranny and this kit much more easily. If you take a look you can actually unbolt your transmission from the engine bay with the ample amount of room the manufacturer provided. When designing a bolt on kit compromises have to be made for various reason. In most custom its i would have removed/replaced quite a bit of oem pieces for more functional aspects of my kit but the average customer wont want to go to the extent that i would LOL.

Now sounds better.

No, sounds great!

Will the turbo go in the same place? And whats the biggest turbo you can fit under there?

Also, Welcome to the party! The more venders there are, the better it is for consumers. Not only does the price become more competitive, but so does the quality, customer service, and ingenuity of the developers.

Thats the angle from the camera the turbo is actually higher than the pan. we went for a placement that allows for our larger front sway bar we had sitting in the office to be installed without hitting the compressor cover. So dont be alarmed. We will be testing this and monitoring trans fluid temps. This car believe it or not commutes quite a bit daily to get to/from work. And it is not babied. And what you need to remember is other images you might have seen are from a manual trans. This is part of the reason we specifically purchased the Auto vs. Manual so we could work with the larger drivetrain. The Auto trans is larger on the lower side to accommodate the fluid pan. so we got it all to fit cohesively just fine. Next on our list is an upgraded Trans cooler for the guys like me who drive hard. If it passes my stress test its a five star product LOL. If it doesnt back to the drawing board. Build it, Break it, Improve it thats my motto.

we will be testing a larger size precision turbo soon for fitment. And the next kit turbo will be infront of motor with a custom manifold. Exact placement of the turbo will be determined once we start construction.

Why didn't you guys use my car as a demo car instead of buying your own?.... no fair....

Believe it or not its really hard to fit that size piping with the limited passages we have to work with. And charge piping size has been proven on some high level testing before to not net much gains. Ive built EVOs with 2.5" piping that make low 9s passes making 850+ HP. Its all about what functions well and how much the turbo flows. Sometimes you can go overboard. 2.5" is more than enough to support the power for most who purchase this kit. The 3" charge pipes are part of MAF scaling but soon speed density will be available from ECUTEK so kiss those issues goodbye.

Contact me we still need some testing for our Exhaust products coming out soon. We prefer to use other vehicles not owned by us for more unbiased testing. Shop cars are great but people always have a little doubt because they thing we pull extra strings on our own cars.
