Default PTBlank-Non Sponsor Turbo Kit Ground Clearance Pictures - Help

I have just found a PT*Blank* kit and Im curious how the crossover runs under the car. I hear its the only source of ground clearance loss. I've searched and found one picture.

Anyone have any other pics of the underside of a car with this kit on?

TIA

Well, this picture kinda tells the story if your car is lowered:



That crossover has been kinda flattened out, too... so some sort of skid plate is a good idea if the car's going to be driven out on the town or on roads that undulate.

My car is stock height. I can get over speed bumps. It will scrape on some big stuff, but I only have a few rubs on mine after 6K miles.

I run Hotchkis springs but my car sits lower than typical hotchkis setups. I can fabricate a new crossover, Im just trying to get a grasp on room/options.

I dunno, but my default boost setting (pump and meth) is 17psi when you get into the car, so it needed different mounts anyway at that level.

It's not a headache free kit but it has been around long enough so that people KNOW what the headaches and issues are up front. They are much smaller items when dealt with up front.

It was a nice kit. Just had a little more issues than I wanted to deal with.
