thats heappps good idea sleeper as wat it set u back? make decent power?

[peckzz]

yes im interested in price and power, looks weet, neva seen a turbo there b4

[darthdingas]

So far the whole thing has cost me about $600 i got the turbo from a mate (help him wreak his car) so I've had to buy a scavenge pump and the piping back to the manifold
little things like silicon bends hose clamp, hoses for the water cooled turbo and oil feed and return and a turbo rebuild kit, im running 8.5psi and it pulls alot harder now
dont have any times yet but when i do i'll post them, as for lag that ppl keep telling me about i say drive one i cant feel any!

600$ damn thats not much coin for what it is? how are the legal side of things with this sort of setup?

never the less .. fkin awsome man

[darthdingas]

Everything has to have 100mm or 4'' ground clearance and 20mm from chassie no extra muffler needed as the turbo acts as one so yeah pretty easy to do yourself
if you can get a good cheap turbo and a welder your

hey mate i have a vr myself and this is a sweet idea, i bet it goes hard lol. well also have a vl turbo too.

can you send me some more info mate, as in what turbo and how its all done bloke. that would be great!

[darthdingas]

Sure man what info you looking for mainly there is a bit around STS.com is where the main idea came from.

[detox_nath83]

and another idea :P

[darthdingas]

Looks like a Sh*t load more pipe and hassel and a lot closer to the fuel tank?? than my setup looks good thow!

[NickVR]

Awesome VR mate. Nice work on the turbo set up. I have always wondered though, how does the filter hold up being out in the elements like that? Basically with water and stuff getting sucked into it.

[darthdingas]

Yeah thats a bit tricky i made a sheild for it havent put it on as yet i saying that still needs to be cleaned very often. i am going underbonnet later this year early next but just wanted to have a little fun

[makz]

that looks sweet!!

[Nackerz]

yeah just any info you got on it mate...cheers

[BLSTIC]

well, I'm liking this. What turbo did you use and when are you getting on boost? Can you stall it up and get on boost?

And have you run down the 1/4 yet?

I'm thinking of doing this to a VT V6...

[Raptorsc]

Innovative idea for sure!!
