Street sleeper hellion turbo kit vs top mount turbo kit

[Juiced35th]

With the current deals lethal is running ive decided to pull the trigger on a twin turbo setup. Anyone have any reason why they would avoid the street sleeper kit (18-19)? I dont care about not being able to see the turbos. Aside from that, any design flaws or reasons anyone can point too why the street sleeper kit is not as efficient or inferior or possible foreseeable issues why the street sleeper is not as good or better than the top mount standart TT kit? Any input is appreciated.

I have a bottom mount kit (boostworks) and its basically the exact same setup as the sleeper. One issue I ran into was smoking from the turbos due to scavenge pump issues. However, hellion provides a sump tank which should alleviate any issues with smoking,but everything working properly will rely on the scavenge pump doing its job. If it ever fails, the car would turn into a smoke show and if ran too long that way will destroy the bearings. Nothing to really be worried about because i doubt the pump will fail, but something to be mindful of. I think people prefer the top mount so they don't have to deal with scavenge pump issues and of course get to see their investment. Also if your car is dropped pretty low, I wouldnt recommend bottom mount.

Im prob a good person to ask because I've had A hellion top mount kit on my 2018 and I've had the sleeper kit! I put the top mount back on because i like to open the hood and see turbos! Car went 9.70 @153 with the sleeper kit before we took it off....If you drove both setups you can't tell a difference...feel sound etc the same

@Mike5876 Do you have emissions where you live?

@Mike5876 Have you thought about how you will pass emissions with this kit installed?

I didn’t realize there are emissions issues with the turbo systems, are neither of the systems set up to run cats and be able to pass emissions?

We option a catalytic converter upgrade for $250 which will allow you to keep cats on the car and keep the system emission friendly.

 

[mustank]

on the sleeper kit, can you put the loudvalves dump pipe right before a set of cats?

@HELLION TURBO What brand are the cats that you guys use?

Here's a question for @HELLION TURBO :
Which specific parts of the Hellion top mount turbo kit would you recommend to get ceramic coated for heat reduction?
Would it have the same benefit as the heat blankets? More...or less heat reduction?

From experience on my motorcycle, when I ceramic coated my exhaust pipes it made a night and day difference in heat reduction! And it looks awesome too.

Thanks guys!

P.S. Next year I'll be moving to Commyfornia...I mean California...so want to prepare for the triple digit heat in summer.
