Forward Facing Turbo On Daily Driven..

After so much consideration & planing i would like to build a forward facing turbo setup for my daily driven evo ix but im cluessless how the procedure going to be like.

1st i would love to run a mini/small air filter on the turbo so as the turbine dunt suck in water when there is a heavy downpour or stone flying around...yess kamikazi bug too...

I happen to see that someone post a stm ff manifold with filter on a rde photo & also br ff kits...

But i just need to purchase the manifold & filter only as i dont need a full kit.

2nd i still need to run ac on my ride as the it hot here... What aircon condenser do i need to run specificly? Ac Lines need to redo? Can i have the link or website to run what type of aircon condenser.

Lastly i need to run half legth rad...What rad u evom recommend? What type of fan do it have to be pair up... If possible link to the website of the items.

DO I REALLY BENEFIT ON RUNNING FF rather then normal setup???

Your Voice please....so i know what to do...

Turbo will be pte6265 or 6765 on 2.1L Engine.

According to Buschur, FF helps especially when u hit high speed.. forces the air into the turbine..

If you don't want the hassle of the FF just get Buschurs 3/4 width rad and do a short route ram air tube, same effect.

i have a STM FF turbo kit and i drive with no filter(no space for it) for the last two years. as long as you watch how close you are and what you are driving through you will be just fine. Also Dave Buschur sells a carbon block off plate that you can use for everyday driving, i know i do. Daves FF kit also has the space for a filter to be placed on the turbo. The same with the AWD setup.

STM has a half width radiator that relocates the top mounting post so you dont have to drill into the core support like the AMS one requires you to.

As for you AC i wanna say that CBRD has a mini condensor with all lines, or you can retro fit one from a honda to make it work.

if you got any other questions shoot me a PM
