Incomplete Turbo pics!

the way he routed his pipes is pretty much exactly how Ive done mine:

I hvae no trouble reaching the 400 hp mark, he shoudn't either. Clean install, Just hte k-member thing raises some concerns.

Like i said, the notch in the K-Member sacrifices so little strength, the difference in the way the car performs, if any, is negligagble. Later on, we went back and boxed it in and added some material, so now ther really isn't any noticeable difference. Also, this car will never see a road course or anything similar, so it's never been a concern of mine at all.

no need to get nasty bro i dont think its a bad system by any means. i just see some small things that i have designed out by designing a twin setup and by using a scavage pump. i am starting the actuall work next month on mine but anyway. i wanted to keep the turbo/turbos as close to the hottest, highest velocity gasses as possible so i am going to customize tmy manifolds and mount the turbos directly to each one (this puts them to low for gravaty feed for the oil hence i needed to designe for a scavange pump). then to minimize bends i am using the redirection of air that ever turbo does to direct the flow (thus eliminating one of the 90 degree bends in the piping) under the K member and to face the exhaust towards the rear (which i plan on linking up to the new 3" true dual exhaust from tsp). then to go even farther on keeping flow as good as possible i opted to use the twin intercooler kit from procharger (which i am getting from slow at the end of this month). the procharger kit has the intercooler in the corners at the bottom of the bumper so its a straigh shot from the turbos to them. then i let the intercooler kit do the rest of the piping (i admit i got lazy here). but thats my design. also since you brought it up the only way i ever thought of doing a single setup was by doing forward swept headers. once again i think you have done a good job with your setup and i think it will do well for you, i'm just a perfectionist. sorry if i offended.

I would have gone with a twin 16G setup, but the added cost of the scavenge pump forced me to think otherwise.

I think I remember this coming up before but do the BMR tubular k-members make a difference in the routing of the piping?

Looks great! Glad to see the turbo craze has gotten even more diverse. I hope you plan to produce this kit for the general public, the more options for FI the better!!

a Tubular K-Member would have allowed me to route the pipes through the same area without notching the frame. But, for $400, I decided my route was much more cost efficient.

It's in the works. There are a few things about my setup that you can't really box up and sell as a kit.. like the custom made intercooler.

looks great.. clean job.
