Looks bad ass Mark!!

its gonna be one sweet setup. the low mount turbo is the way to go tho, then when you decide to do compounds, theres plenty of room for the second turbo,

I don't plan on compounds....waay to much boost for our heads....I will wait for someone else to be that geina pig...
Plus I can trim the flange and flip the header for compounds....

Or is you wanted to be creative you could do like Detroit Diesel does and "turbo-compund" your engine - the second turbo does not run a compressor, but adds power back to the crank shaft - they get 10% more HP free and burn 5% less fuel.

the only issue I can see with my mounting location is I got the turbo kinda close to the ac lines...gonna have to be creative to get my intake to go by...I will get it though.

I'm a wuss....I need my AC in the Utah dry heat...it's brutal with out. your lucky..

Ya ya ya, you hillbillies up in the PNW dont need it as it hardly ever gets hot enough to warrant. 

In Utah however it can be 80+ still at 1am so AC is all but a requirement here...

dude, trust me, i was wishin i had a/c last year. it was 120*+ last year. my truck would overheat from cold in less than 5 miles. and the humidity was at almost 100%. dry heat is nothing compared to the super moist heat we have here, it just doesnt really get super hot all the time tho. but for the 10 months out of the year when all i use is the heater, who needs a/c? it takes up space, weight, and time. im glad my rabbit doesnt have it, because my intercooler would have never fit with a/c. and as for the audi, it has a/c still, but its un hooked and doesnt work. i need to take it the rest of the way out now.

I require A/C in my vehicles.  Flagstaff is colder than Chicago year round, but you can't leave the island (mountain) in the summer without A/C.

You'll need it if you ever make it down to Davis Mountain AFB to see the Bone Yard.

arizona heat is nothing. its dry. dry heat is nice compared to here. when its hot here, its hot like florida. over 100* and over 100% humidity. lol

I would love to get rid of mine...it makes the engine bays looks great..I might even try shaving my bay to nothing...but I gotta have ac..


got my welder hooked up!!! gonna finish my down pipe by tomorrow...maybe even drive the car!!

[fc steve]

Yeah im in phx. 120 is 120. grew up in houston so i know what the 100% swamp heat is like.

Its too dam hot! first thing i did to my rabbit was go thru the ordeal of putting ac on a noon ac car.


Build looks good.
