Default ~Custom Turbo Kit~

Does anyone have any pics of their custom fabricated turbo setup, im trying to get some ideas on where all it can be mounted and cost ideas of what peeps spent on custom fabricated set ups. Im thinking of trying to setup a rear mount system like STS's but change a few things. Im just trying to get some input with pros and cons of a custom set up.

I wish I had pictures but the car didn't run (was wrecked) too long after it being completed. I wanted a rear mount system with a T70 and other upgrades (BOV and wastegate, boost controller, and intercooler that was not visible from the outside). All in all with the racetronics pump, harness, injectors, intercooler, turbo, couplers, BOV, wastegate, turbo and fabrication (aluminized) it ended up being around $3500.

so where did you mount the intercooler? front bumper and cut it out? so you could see the turbo from the outside or what?

Try looking up at the truck manifold FAQ, a few different custom turbo set ups are featured in there.

As for a custom rear mount set up...basically only one way to do it.

A little custom.....
Stenod Performance did it.....
The kit its self was about $9K.... then add all the stuff like intake and other things...... then everything else....
Id stay front mount also.... esp if you are going to home fab it... Like Jeremy said above with Truck manifolds..

Here's Mine.
