hidden turbo?

[steezystef]

Unless it's CARB certified. I don't think most cops are suspicious of a 20 year old BMW "yuppie" car to begin with unless you make it obvious you're modded. They mostly go after Honda's and such because they tend to have the most illegal mods and engine swaps.

and also the fact that hondas are fucking gay, my buddys dad is a cop here in so-cal and he says all the cops hate the hondas lol...probably because we have soo many gay ricers out here

I think a remote oil supply and motorcycle oil cooler would be a great addition to a rear mount.

ight, cool. also i heard that bottom mount turbos have a oil cooling issue, do you know anything about this?

I know they usually have oil drain issues. Unless your referring to oil cooler line fitment issues. In that case hell yes. I had to remove my oil cooler untill i find a suitable relocation kit. All the oil stuff is right where the inlet wants to go. Almost all solutions require drastic bends and reduction in inlet diameter plumbing. Check out the TCD setup. It would not be an issue if we had m50 style oil filters.

I'll take pics soon once i finish some key issues.

It would have a special emissions sticker and new vacuum line diagram. Like the b7s do. I do plan on making a CARB legal kit as long as it does not cost me over $5k for the testing.

[einstein57]

couldn't you just get an alpina rep valve cover and steering wheel, then claim its some rare version with stock turbo?

I have actually been in my friends wrx when he got pulled over and had to pop the hood. I guess it is all about the location and what cop pulls you over.

My buddy got pulled over in his STi too. Got pulled over for tinted windows, the cop had him pop his hood and slapped on the exhaust, intake, BOV, and intake manifold, and suspension to the ticket too. Turns out the cop didn't know that the red manifold is factory on the STi. Anyhow, after returning his car back to stock for the inspection, my buddy bead blasted his BOV so it's factory non-shiny, cut up his airbox so he can hide his CAI, and slapped his exhaust back on, raised his coils a tiny bit, kept the front tint off, and reset his COBB tuner back to where it was. No tickets since

i guess he didnt get the memo that you eat rice and not drive it.
