Turbo TBSS has anyone done it yet?
or is this the first one around??
My friend Matt and I will be asking lots of questions and doing alot of reading in this section.....
biggest one is at 6lbs of boost can we get away with no intercooler with this remote mount (fabbing up the kit, they don't make one for the TBSS)? what kind of Intake Air Temps do you think we'll see w/o one? everything esle is just trial and error....later

It will help you and answer alot of your basic questions. And yes you can run it without an intercooler. But if you have the means and the ways it is better to do so.

6-7lbs on a buddy's non-intercooled powerdyne SC = 180 deg IATs pulling second through 4th gear on his six speed with no IC. Yep. ...and with those IATs you can't run hardly any timing at all...
You will really need to watch the IAT's. We looked at a TBSS to do a rear mount and it will be pretty straight forward. IMO, use aluminum for your charge pipe as long as its not by a heat source or going to rub anything. We did a Blazer and use 95% aluminum charge pipe and run after run on the dyno the IAT's never got above 115.
