if i can get the manifolds and DP made this has potential of getting done at last lol i sat on majority of the parts so most things are still here

Basicly something like this. Its all a matter of making it fit. (Granted this is a 3800 but same idea)


My issue with this design is there is A LOT of heat directly under the thorttle body.

Some Companies like STS mount the turbo at the back of the car just because of space contraints and the system still works.
I've been trying to find a compromise to mount the turbo between the subframe and the firewall, but the trans and steering rack take a ton of space.


Ah Mega pic link to a 3400 swapped into a baretta with boost.
