http://www.ststurbo.com/universal_system

They have finally made a universal system. It will require some modification. I was kind of impressed watching the vette on HP TV. It's a lot cheaper than a front mount turbo kit you have to put together peice by piece and fabricate some turbo headers etc. anybody interested?

o just to let u know this setup was applied to a 2003 accord, the only reason i remember it was because it was discussed alot in one of the accord forums i was in. one of the guys actually got it on his accord. it has a basic principle of front turbo, except i remember there was something that i thought was a little crazy bout it

i dont think they have to put it under your car necessarily...they say they can put it almost anywhere that has room...so you can almost put it anywhere just about...of course there are restrictions but someone other than me should try this...lol

i also watched the the install on the vette and although you loose i think he said a 1lb of pressure from the distance you gain more horsepower than a front engine mount turbo because of the decrease in heat from traveling a longer distance. im convinced

I would build a louvered skid plate. It would help protect it a bit from theives too.

any knowledgable person, like us on this forum would know about it, plus it sounds really loud from those vids..

the skidplate might be ok, but then heat buildup? none of it makes sense to me. so i wont buy it... lol
