Nice setup! Boy... I would want something protecting those lines under car lest they get snagged on something on accident... but otherwise cool beans!

I'm still making little adjustments with hoses, pipes and wires. I want everything tucked as far up as I can.

Yeah, it can be cleaned up a good bit. There's a lot going on under there once it's all installed! ;)

Is there any concerns with water, with the turbos being so open under the car like this? I live in Vancouver Canada and it likes to rain here

 

[Travis@boostworks]

No sir.. you would have to have water about a foot deep before it became an issue. As it stands our turbos sit the highest out of any mid-mount kit on the market.. a good 3-4" about the sub-frame.

sounds like you have a beast at last! congrats man, and thanks for being honest with the install time...i always cringe at the "yeah i installed my kit in 45 minutes, and that was with 17 beer breaks"

enjoy:cheers:

Lol, people always ask us how long it takes to install. I feel like we can't give a good answer because we're obviously in a better position. We've installed and uninstalled these things dozens of times on lifts.

But, we do have it to a point where the headers can go in without much fuss.

Really glad to hear this kit ia installed and OP is finally enjoying the car.

Good to hear that boostworks sent a fuel kit too.

ha yeah i bet you guys are pretttty good and fast by now!

i'll never forget my first experience with headers on a S550:frusty:...but i think it'd be much easier second go round

Great looking setup! Definitely going with TT's in the near future.

Hopefully this isn't highjacking your thread but I noticed you have the Gt350 I/M.

My question is, would it be worth the money to pair the turbo's with the GT350 I/M? I'm guessing the rev limit and air volume increase would make more efficient use of the boost. Ideally I would want to have it as well, but is there any data comparing the increased HP w/ or w/o?

I'm new to the scene and looking to build a well rounded rocket,
Thanks in advance.

There was testing done with pretty much all the available intakes with a procharger. I think the result was the GT350 helped up top, and was similar to gains seen with a Sniper manifold. Definitely worth it if you have the $$.

Im hoping that it was worth the money. Once my tune is as dialed in, it would be cool to compare logs/graphs between my set up and a similar one with a stock GT IM. I was told that the increase would be substantial, but without any comparable data its just a guess right now.

Can the turbo and waste gate be attached to the header outside then the whole assembly be slid up into place ?

Attaching the turbo to the header wasn't the hard part. You need the turbo out of the way to reach the PITA bolts in the front of the motor.
