i think it is a cool idea, but like stated before, piping would be a real ***** under our cars. and as for mounting the turbos, unless you removed the spare tire and banged out the floor pan they would hang too low and you risk clipping the turbos on a speedbump and realy ****in everything up?

interesting...... quite usable for a v8 setup hmmm
First only a few users said that this just would not fit. And i noticed that all of them were members who know their SH*T. don't take them for granted but do alot of research before you say they're wrong.
Second, even if the kit does fit members are right that it is a kit for thos who don't have the space in their engine bay for a kit. we are lucky enough to have a few great options of pre-made kits and people who have gone custom to help lead the way.
No one said not to do it, they just are saying if it was their money it wouldnt be the choice they'd go with. besides do you want to buy it and find out it won't fit? or get a proven kit that will also last longer that will fit? if you want to be truly innovative go custom. do a turbo no one has and show you can go bigger.

i really think that this setup is best for a v8, but i could be wrong

I guess I am confused about the intent of the forum. I honostly thought that this would be a great place to discuss new and innovative ideas about my ride. I seem to have ended up in the land of the closed minded. I really don't know how blanket statements can be made about fitment, without first discussing the creative ways this product has been adapted to other smaller plantforms. I guess the photos of 9 and 10 sec GTO's, and the article on the acura were confusing. Creativity can solve alot of issues with fitment. How else could the forward thinkers before us come this far? I guess the only way for this group to jump on the band wagon is to see copies of dyno runs posted. Sad... I will look elsewere for creative imput and post the dyno runs when the project is completed.
With out starting an arguement, I am not being closed minded. Actually I have been looking into these ever since i got my car in mid of 04 and it is possible to be done but within a price range that would be worth it, straight up, NO WAY. I would rather go conventional then anything else. Look under your car, put it up on a lift. Not going to happen unless you do some major pan work, and when i say it can be done, yea it will work but not to its full ability, soooo there you are wasting money. Possible YES, will most do it, NO, why, COST. Sorry but it just doesnt add up and like said above, You want your stuff jaked becuase that can happen to. One other thing THIS KIT IS NOT COMPLETE as also stated above my first post. I am sorry to say but in the car world UNIVERSAL doesnt mean "made to fit all cars"

STS on LS1 and LT1 cars are amazing. If you ever get to see one run or even hear one its worth it. Know a guy down in San Diego with a STS and he kicks the crap out of Terminators all the time.

I'm not worried about the space, it's not having to change header, the ease of concealing the tubes when you're going to get smogged, and the fact is that it's after the cat, so smog inspectors can't fail you.

Then don't modify your car, money wise like i stated a few years ago, not worth the money to do this. do some research and tell me if putting this back there worth all the work, and you still got to put piping back up to the intake and there is NO ROOM for it under the car. If you do run it along the route of the tunnel then i guess you will be blowing hot air into your intake since there is something else that gets really hot there also. Sorry, if your worried about smog don't mod your car, because they can fail you for almost any mod then since everything is before the cat.
