can i ask why you have the turbochargers in the back with all that room up front ?

you are going for better weight distribution or what ?

also that intercooler is pretty much useless there

Well the rear mount was basically simply for looks! But your a little wrong, the intercooler actually works quite well, even with a 0-100+ mph 18psi pull the IAT stays right with ambient temp outside!! Also after hard pull I have stopped and used a infered temp gun on both the inlet and outlet of the intercooler and there is always a 20-30 degrees difference!

Its the aeromotive boost referenced regulator, it does have an -8 line for the return only because I had enough -8an line to go from the tank to the engine and back, the return port is actually a -6an hole with a -6 male to -8 male adapter!

Actually I still have some lines and wiring to finish before the swap is complete. But I'm sure when it is done, it probably will have a lot more in it without the filter. But its the biggest diamter one I could find to fit in that small of an area. The filter has a 6" inlet. I guess we will see.

air circulates in the bed of a truck. myth busters did a nice show on that, and air actually makes like a vortex, and where that intercooler is, whould be right in the line of moving air.


Great setup bro. looks sharp.
