yes I am going to have you guys do the hotpiping from headers to turbo and i will do the dp. I am going to go with a big turbo like a mt-98. I will have you guys space it from the engine far enough when you build it and i will worry about the radiator stuff. It should be pretty simple.

it will be out the driverside on mine. I a2w intercooler will be were the battery was. I think i will be able to mount the turbo behind the radiator. I am going to move it way like way forward since I have a pin on hood. I think i am going to buy a 6.0 iron block this week to build myself until I can afford to build a lsx motor the way i want.

We built the red camaro, and to tell you the truth when your driving it down the road, its VERY tolerable and the tone level is actually minimal. It has a 6" long dynatech muffler and the whole pipe is 4". The car has a pt88 on it and if the gate was vented back into the dowm pipe the car would even be fairly quiet at WOT.

we built a nice aluminum alternator bracket / motor plate on the pass side, got rid of the pass side motor mount and sneaked though there, it dumps about 20 inches behind the trans cross member, will post pics later

I saw the black car in person it looked wild. I wish you had a pic of how they got the pipe though the car. I would love to do it like the orange car.

Running the exhaust out the front bumper is for race cars....if you street drive it alot that way, your paint job is done for....look at the cars going done the track, they blow black most of the way down and on the street it take a toll on the paint of your car.....I know cause I've got the same issue, now it's going all the way out the back.
