Take the rear muffler off and put the whole system near the rear axle. The only extra thing you need is an oil pump for the turbo oil return. No muffler and sounds great.

Like we did on this Porsche.

I have been wondering for a little while if this entire forum has gone nuts. This thread brings me on step further to believing that. :freak:

Get you hands on a set of N/a headers and fit those. Then you can relocate the turbo to the boot, under your bed, in the lounge as a door stop, on the patio as an ashtray..etc etc etc :nudie:

Can you name names? Surely I am not in the group.

this really aint so crazy.

it does loose the heat energy from the engine but the underbonnet temps are greatly reduced by having a remote mount turbo. :freak:

because he's on p's over east I'd guess..

unfortunatly the pipework is always going to give it away I rekon. perhaps get some different looking heatshields to cover it, but you r best bet would be to remove the turbo badge from the boot and baby it so you dont get picked up.

he must be a P plater.

Simply, if you bothered to move it, you would still have all this "mysterious" pipework leading all over the place and the police would just go "ermm.. not stock.. EPA him".

Just buy an XR6

I would say it is a licensing thing.

He wants to drive a Turbo on his P's and "thinks" that cops will not notice a turbo hidden.

If the car IS fitted with a TURBO, then it is TURBOCHARGED, no matter where it is hidden. Cops can also tell from the VIN and Rego details.

I would suggest driving a N/A until you are legally able to drive a turbo.
