First single turbo 2018 mustang

Not a big fan of the turbo inlet location here on a street car, good luck when it rains or have some road debris get sucked into there.

Same location for ProCharger just on the other side.

Not a daily driver, car will obviously have a cone filter for street driving

In order to suck up standing water it's really hard. I had a mid mounted turbo down below the trans on my last car. Really isn't an issue. More of armchair physics fear.

There are so many cars out there running turbos with similar intake pipe heights that I wouldn't be worried about it. Just avoid huge puddles and you should be fine. But that being said, personally I would try to avoid driving a big turbo car... Sticky tires tend to not like the rain and you're just asking for a stupid total.


OP that's a badass setup! :cheers: I'm digging it. Did you flip the oem headers?

Yikes some of you guys are grade A trolls. Someone's actually building their own system and everyone loves to cut them down. Tall poppy thing sure is a problem on the internet.

The car is running and pretty much put together if this is the 2018 that Mustang Lifestyle has been talking about.

am I seeing right? is that the exhaust exit straight out the passenger side ? if so what possible benefit could this single turbo have over the Hellion dual kit with an actual functioning exhaust system? aren't they capable of well over 1000 hp?

A bumper dumper saves weight for one and probably frees up a few hp as well over a full exhaust. As for single vs twin either can work well with proper setup.

You want the shortest exhaust possible to keep backpressure down. A full exhaust is a restriction.

That thing sounds sick dude

theoretically yeah, but in reality not very much. A 4" exhaust will not be a real restriction until some crazy hp. A dual 3" even more. Bumper exit is just a lot easier to fab

 

[Bald Menace]

so with exhaust exiting the front bumper cover i'm assuming this is not going to be street legal or street driven.
