What hotpipe kit should I get? Okay so I got the LQ9 out and I am freshening up the bottom end with new bearings, rings, swapping the cam, ect while it is out. I want to get rid of the STS and switch to a front mount but I dont want to chop up the core support and stand up the radiator. I figure my turbo will work will up front its the STS 76mm .96ar, I have a good waste gate and already have a good intercooler and I figure I can fab a J bend from the turbo to plum into my existing cold side. Just need to know if there is a hot side out there that will allow me to meet my goal of not standing up the radiator.
Seen a PTK kit on ebay (don't know if it will support not standing the radiator up.) and a godspeed kit (don't know how well its made, sounds to good to be true.) Any body used any of these or have a better recommendation? I plan squeeze what I can out of my turbo this time around as the car is going to see primarily track duty.
Thanks

The ebay ptk clone and godspeed are the same setup i believe. And with them, standing up radiator isnt needed but u will have to swap to pusher fans instead of puller. And even then the turbo is soo close to the radiator that a turbo blanket is difficuilt to install. Search here for ebay turbo and start reading on how big of a pita it is.
