Thanks for the compliment.The car is still stock height.I ended up with about 5" of clearance on the turbo.

I thought I read somewere that if the chargepipe was to large it lost its velocity before it reached the motor.What are you other large rearmount turbo guys useing for chargepipe.Hopefully Zombie or Longrange4u will chime in.

where did you put the MAF (if you are still using it?) and how are you supporting the weight of the turbo back there I am trying to find a way to hold mine up and keep it level so it doesn't smoke like so many have.

So you just have one "C" type bracket bolted to the car then the exhaust clam holding onto that?

Hopefully everything will be fine.I have been running the STS kit for about 3yrs so I have the usual bugs worked out.

Thanks

I just finished this set-up.Did have stock motor with STS base kit.Then I went to the 408 with a bigger turbo,then went to the 88 for hopefully the last set-up but we'll see.

Thanks
