Hey Emerald, can you post some pics of the turbo setup. I know its a rear mounted setup but would still love to see some pics. How much boost are you running and how does the car drive?

I'm interested in this too.

I'm a little confused by this rear setup? How does this work? It is Rear Motor Rear Wheel Drive? Really long piping? I dont get it.

The setup is just like the Camaro rear Turbo systems. R'now it's only running 6-8 lbs. Ive run more on the previous engine before it went out.

Im going to clean up the install later this summer when I get a break from work n stuff and detail the build for my site.... Plus there were a few oil spots when I put it back in storage

so now is prolly the best time to do it before I lose another engine.

The biggest difference with mine is that I enclosed the setup within the spare tire well. The passenger side tailpipe is really part of the intake system that has 2 filters. The drivers side is the exhaust. The response is nice and could be a bit better without the FMIC...

Drives 'normal' till 30mph or so, if you're just casually driving.

It performed well after sitting so long. We all drove to chahalis (2hrs outta seattle) to run a few cars. My SC, SVT Stang, WRX and my 850ci. The Lexus ran all of them, cept for the BMW that walked past all of us @ 150 , 160 or so...it was crazy to see a car pull that fast from a rollin 50.... and jus keep on goin

I was right on his *** for a bit, but backed off.

I think the car eventually will go back NA, when I start on my 300 project.

I'd like to use a lot of the parts from the 400 on it....if I ever get around to working on it

I change my mind a lot when it comes to building cars.

by the time I post sumthing about it (which is rare) Its usually changed already.

I know so far Acleansc4, Autocouturesc, and I are all going 4 gallon pancake style tanks in the spare tire well. It's probably the best way to go with a "clean" install without that much trouble. Sorry for your inconvenience.
