like the 3rd brake light better like that, my next project there

now we can have the nice flares on the side too

theres also a pic of a turbo where the stock hood just aint cutting it(the white aveo that was painted blue appartenly, filter is all fucked up too)

I saw a picture of it on the other forum, not sure if that was the same one or just the same type setup. The pluses to that setup is shorter and simpler piping (espically if you can find room to front mount the IC.) But the down side is heat soaking the IC and losing power over time. I've been thinking of a setup like this for my SVX (if I decide to go turbo)

[thehunterooo]

yes its very simple, the hood must be modified though it looks like, which you could put a scoop on it to try to cool down the IC maybe

i might go this way when i start collecting parts, i can modify my crap hood and save 500 insted of buying a cf hood

how much would that setup be?
and y was the intake in the front if i may ask?

[thehunterooo]

more cooler air coming from the front i would think

if you buy all the parts serpatly, good parts, it can be several hundered dollars

buy an ecu off ebay for 100 and have it remapped for the specs you will need, amybe 800 there

custom manifold, buy xaiogorys and have a flange welded on, maybe 600 all together

do some work yourself or take it to someone and have your piping done, not very difficult

boost and and controller, maybe 100

i would say under $3000 to do a good setup, and can be way cheaper

[Reddemonx92]

cant you just tune up the ecu already on the car?

[thehunterooo]

yeah but you would not be able to drive it when you ship it out, i guess a cheap second set of wheels will be of some value, in case there is epic failure along the way

[Petrified.Rabbit]

the intake is on the front because it is feeding the turbo.

and with a properly mapped and tuned computer, you should not need a boost controller, that should be in the programming.

[Reddemonx92]

so would you need to buy a new ecu or just tune the one the car comes with

[thehunterooo]

i would just buy another one off ebay just incase you need to change back to stock, though i dont know if you could do that just by changing out the ecus
