Are you going to supply longer A/C hoses and radiator hoses so when the condenser and radiator are stood up these will reach?

Will there be instructions on modifying the stock air duct system so the stock air damn
will keep the car cool @ highway speeds?

What about the fuse box's and ABS controller where the throttle body pipe
comes out?

BIW nice work!

Custom T Stat housing is optional. Custom Lines are required.
As for the DP routing it is routed up over the Motor mount and under the header. This is the first design on the Crossover & DP. I am currently looking at ways to make them cleaner/Better before I build the final JIG's for this setup.

There are several Write Ups on what to do with the fuses and ABS block. Its all a tight fit under the hood of a 4th Gen as we all know. At the end of the day the setup is designed to get the turbo under the hood with out relocation major accessories.

Moving the radiator at the point is a given. I am looking to tighten up the crossover to alleviate that but have to take into consideration what other issues that may cause.


As for Pricing. The setup as listed in the first Post is $5800.

prob a 91.5 T4, you'd need a different downpipe and slight cold side re-configuration I would think though

It should fit most T4 based turbos with out any issues. A DP change would be required along with some rework of the initial cold side pipe as stated above.

As it stands right now the idea of a Vette Turbo setup is just that, and Idea. I dont own a Vette or have access to one for mock up.

As for a Basic hot side:
Headers and a crossover in 304L Stainless: $2250 + Shipping.

I am making some changes to the T4 Kit to get the crossover tuck in towards to engine some more, and changing the DP routing some.

Feel free to give me a call at the shop to discuss anything abou this setup or any setup that you may be interested in.
