That kit is badass but arent you guys afraid of dirt or a bug getting sucked up in the turbo? Do you have filters or screens you can put over it to protect it?

I'd have the yellow and black warning sticker on the hood with an arrow pointing down at the turbo inlet. "Warning! BIG TURBO Small children must stand back 3 meters."

Do you not get black stuff all over your hood from that dump being pointed up like that? I really want a kit like this but I'm kind of a afraid that if I did it'd become a pure track car.. Definitely the most aggressive looking kit on the market though. The Blue STM evo is my fave! ; )

Very nice... Sucks that you can't keep the ac, but I guess its like that with all the Front facing turbo kits...

Nice work STM, Is there a special downpipe that goes with this as well?

I think every car is going to be different. I know for mine they cut off a portion of my downpipe to make the elbow work how they needed it too. And I remember Buschur talking with CBRD with his front facing turbo kit and I think they said they could make half size condensers. IMO this kit makes you a race car a tad more then a DD so you should have to lose the AC. But that's just my .02
