It looks like that turbo sticks way out under the back. I can only imagine what someone would say after you beat them, seeing your vette shoot away only to have this huge turbo chill'n under your bumper. I bet it does haul *** though. How difficult was it to set this up?

Would driving it in the rain be a problem? I cant imagine water splashing off the tire onto that filter would be good.

congrats on building your own setup and getting it running.





Aside from the comment posted earlier about water injestion, that turbo looks a little scary mounted that low. have you tried going over speed bumps or gone thru any dips in the road?
