Has anyone seen this...id love to see someone put one on an mx3....i really wanna see if it would even work....but wouldnt there be a MAJOR lag....

we dont have the room under the car to run the pipes

actually a company came up with this design for the ford focus, they handle the lack of piping space by putting the turbo where the Cat is.

This is giving me a really good idea maybe I'll try it and let everyone know how it works. I really miss the boost. The ZE is just not what I thought it would be.

Wow that is a good idea. Maybe need to make some sort of shield to prevent puddles of water from cracking the housing on the turbo though...

yea and lag wont really be that bad on the v6

If you run the piping to a front mount intercooler and then to the engine you will have an incredible large intake piping, thus one of the biggest causes of lag. And what about the oil drain line from the turbo to the oil pan? And the oil feed line? Yes, you can say that it can be solved with a separate oil circuit for the turbo., which involves a new oil reservoir, electric oil pump, oil radiator,... I don't think it is more easy than installing a "conventional" turbo system. And If you want to keep the turbo on stealth you can check my system, and what you only had to do is relocate your oil filter (piece of cake).

actually one of the kits has its own oil feed along with resivour pump etc and doesnt use an intercooler

the increased piping creates a larger pressure drop. this means to run 5psi at the engine, you might have to run 9 psi at the turbo. this in turn creates more heat which robs power as well. it will also put more strain on the turbo, and depending on the specs, could max out it's effeciency rather quick.

or you could just get a turbo made for 12PSI constantly and just run 9 which would be safe....
