Hey... im building my car rigth now im not sure bout what placement i have to use for the turbo...

my fav is the forward facing but i dont want to mess with a/c lines etc.... but whats the benefict of using ff ?

my car is a Semi Daily Drive ... sometimes use it every day some times 2 or 3 days a week..

please help..:!

 

You can use any placement you'd like. I believe there are companies that offer a ff setup that will allow you to keep your AC, so you wouldn't have to mess with lines or anything like that. I'm sure someone else who knows will chime in. There's no real benefit to going ff, more of a preference for most people because it looks awesome. I imagine the turbo does get better air flow in that spot though. Good luck

 

Whats the benefit to a Top mount?

 

You can fit big *** snail,you got more room for that.

 

I choose top mount because its different in the evo community, I also live in AZ so not having AC in my daily was not an option. My top mount 6466 does make 787whp and my friends 6466 ff makes 727 on a little less boost. You can do AC with ff now but its like an extra $800 on top of the 4k you spend on the kit (new).

 

Top mount: more room for a turbo, ability to run a biggger downpipe, easy to swap turbos and remove/install them, longer runners for the manifolds are possible with a top mount. Get to keep AC

FF: most air possible to get to turbo, looks sick, can still fit a bigger downpipe but it's a little harder, no AC unless you want to pay for an AC kit as well.

Standard: most items should work with little modifications. (Depending on if the hot parts kit is a quality kit, or if you're using the parts intended for it. Less things to change up (for the most part). Have to worry about the lower rad hose for the instake, and making a downpipe/o2 is the hardest to fit if you're making one, or wanting to run bigger than 3".

 

Double post

 

also with FF I found you cant find any twin scroll fast spooling turbos. I find its mainly drag turbos ... if im wrong please let me know...

 

Get a front facing mount they will get you better spool! LMAO I'm playing I have to get 5 posts

 

this is not true, forward facing is just placement you can use whatever turbo the manifold is built for

 

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ple-guide.html This thread on the first page will show you the availability of FF kits in our community and whether they offer the ability to still run A/C or not. Others may know more and will chime in but a downside to the front facing is with a half size radiator you have diminished cooling ability with your coolant so that's something to consider if you plan to daily drive your car.
