hidden turbo?

[deutschman]

bottom mount the turbo, intercooler in the trunk or between grill and stock radiator, use only black hoses and no chrome pieces.
how will you pass smog? you will have to have a really clean burning turbo set up!

I like the idea of this kind of set up,



It has also been suggested I put two turbos in the boot/trunk lol

saw an episode of gearz with stacy david where he put one of these kits on a corvette, looked sick, sounded sick, i was jealous!

Usually rear mounts are ok on v8s because they already start
out with at least 300hp right off idle.

not even worth the work IMO

Kinda stupid but it would be the best feeling when a cop asks you to pop the bonnet expecting to find a turbo and finds nothing. Also I couldn't imagine how loud that setup would be with the dump pipe going straight to the exhaust tips. Wouldn't this also suffer from serious turbo lag.

Ya, huge lag. That's a lot of charge pipe to pressurize.

i used to have a jacked up broken POS lebaron. thing had a blown HG.
took it to get smogged, knowing it wouldn't pass. guy hooks it up and starts to warm it up, blowing smoke all over and he says" i dont think this is gonna do it".

so i smile and say, "shit...well if it doesn't pass im not paying!".
after he had already done the work to hook it up and ect.

needless to say it "passed" and he got a tip. lol

all i have to say is that CA is a bunch of nazi's when it comes to cars, but there is always a loop hole through everything. haha!

^^^ haha interesting story, I wish I could attempt that at my roadworthy. But laws are here if don't pay you don't get your car back.

In Maryland you can register the car historic if its 20 years or older. This means no smog or visual inspection. So turboing is not an issue now :finger:. However if you don't have a 20 year old car, you have to first find a crooked inspection station and pay them $50 more. Then for emissions when you go and fail, they keep your $14 but you don't have to pay again then you retest every couple months. As long as you retest within there time limit your golden.

[e30shmobberr]
