Sleeper turbo?
Saturday, November 22, 2008 7:48 PM
It's been a while since I posted on here. But google can't help me here.

I saw on a TV show, called "Stacy David's Gears", a corvette they were putting twin turbo's on. Where the muffler originally was! I've always been under the impression that the closer a turbo to the ports, the better. So what do you guy's think? Let's just toy with the idea that we could route charge pipes through sideskirts, etc, etc. Too much heat loss? Not enough pressure waves? If it could be done on a J, should it?



Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.

Correct, MrPUTE originally built it. He sold it and that guy never installed it. We then bought it for the components and totally redid the whole setup.

Jason, when she told you it was faster than mine she was refering to my daily driver (2001 Z24 SC) not my turbo car . It out runs the SC car everytime with no hesitation. We have not dynoed it yet but I would say its right around the 230-240 whp mark without the spray.

Is that nitrous I see? Lol. Awesome! I feel like on the eco, I could hollow out the stock intake plenum that sits in the TB and make it look totaly stock. That's my goal. No more tickets.

So how do you feel the colder exhaust gasses affect the spooling/peak? The STS site says the denser gas is benificial, but leaves it at that. I noticed your headers are wrapped, I feel like the whole exhaust should be.
