Wow, it doesn't look like there's much to this kit. I'd be worried about the location of the turbos taking a hit by some debris or constanly getting wet.

I also have never liked the way they run the pipes under the oil pan. Is that the air filter in front of the driver side turbo? That looks like a pretty poor location, but you could add some pipe of your own and route it to a cooler fresh air location.

even for a race kit those are way too low when the front end comes down everything will be crushed.

This kit still isn't really street or race proven yet is it? I think the kit is nicely done and we'll have a better understanding with the turbo and pipe placing after firehawk gets his up and running.

Yeah it looks like those turbos are going to be chuggin down some hot air for as long as they stay attached.

My car is only lowered an inch but those turbos would double as jackstands.

Best of luck sir, drive carefully.

You need some save your *** bars then because the first time you put it on the bumper your turbos are gone...

I'd like to see some pics from the front after everything is done and put back on, those turbo's look a little low from your pics but it could be all in the angle.

Heres a picture of the kit fitted to a WS6. Note the turbos are higher than the sway bar links and the exhaust exits......

That's an ad for TRT, I know I started that by asking Jassim, but they are an overseas shop.

Is it a good or a bad idea to remove those filters and extension pipes, in the track only, to eleminate any restriction in front of the twins?

bluecamaroz28- The only problem with those 2 pics is they are not showing the lowest parts of the system, which is the turbo compressor covers and tubing running underneath the K-member.
