FIRST TURBO THREAD - Where are we putting the intercooler???

Alright, someone had to do it, now let's get to it.



Let's face it, we are going to turbo this car. Let's be honest, and say we aren't going to waste our time with anything but the manual V6 coupe (screw cylinder management).

While were at it, let's talk twin turbos, since single will prove useless.


So problem #1:

Open the hood. Find the airbox. See that neat little part that looks like its running to the front of the car? It is! Yay, that looks like a factory cold/ram air intake!

Ok now the sad realization. See that mesh looking thing, staring right at you in between the grille. Thats a radiator, and its a big one, that is packed in pretty damn tight.

So where the hell are we going to put the FMIC?

My guess is, we are not. We need a top mount, and we need a vented/scooped hood to suck air in.


Discuss.
