That power band looks like ***. I don't if it's from the exhaust side choking flow or the fact that he is using stock ecu. The setup looks really nice, but he needs to go standalone. He'd make more power even on 5.5psi. If you are going go FI on this engine then you really should bite the bullet and go standalone. You'll need it eventually anyways.

Mucho Props to the guy that did this! I thought about it, but decided against it mainly due to not wanting to depend upon an external oil pump to pump the oil back, and I did not fancy cutting the rear spare well out. But, I love the simplicity of this man's set up! Mad props!!
I know guys are gonna tear this down, as some already have...But how many SC's have FI of any kind??? Lots of Internet warriors and trolls always complaing, but never doing...
This is a great set up for someone wanting to add great power, and for little money! Awesome!
Notice that is 300 WHP and 290 ft lbs of torque! A lot more than stock...The stock, non-vvti SC is around 170 - 190 WHP at best (with no mods), so that is a gain of over 50% in power at 5.5 PSI! I bet he did not spend alot of money either...There's your inexpensive power gainer right there!
Rock on Man!

He spent almost 10k trying to figure out his setup with a lot of trial and error. However, I bet if he tried it a second time it would have most definitely been cheaper. He has the stock manifolds on there as well. He saved a chunk of money right off the bat using stock manifolds.

That is basically what I have...Times 2!!
Lots of challenges with the front mount turbo set up in the SC400...
A) Space
B) Cooling
C) Space
D) Keeping the AC
E) Space
F) Keeping the Power Steering
G) Space
H) Custom Manifolds
I) Did I mention Space?
I think you all get the picture...
Again, mad props,,,

yep space and fab. and time and money and more and more... then water pump leaks... remove all and everything just to get to zero and start the water pump repair... i applaud anybody that has the skill and patience to do it thou.
mount the turbo(s) in the rear and from what i have seen and heard...
(i posted this before because i've been thinking seriously about rear mounting myself.)
Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.
Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air. Allows for better cooling of turbo components.
No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.
Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet. Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.
Better weight transfer. Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.
Less noise and heat in the passenger compartment.
