So you can't install this turbo yourself? I don't see any pictures on their website, not a smart way to sell things.

 

I found some pics. In the one that still shows the cats it looks like the tubing goes under the control arms.

Is that correct? I'd like to keep the cats.

 

There are plenty of pictures @ the hellion site. you have to go to the gallery. dyno sheets and all. yes you do keep the stock cats. CARB EO Approval Pending. the pipes do go under the control arms but i cant see that being a big issue. some see it different. all the piping was fabbed by Daryl Bassani

 

ooopppsss

 

What does Carb EO approval pending mean? Does this kit require welding? Whatever I get, be it SC or turbo, i'd want to install it myself, that's 50% of the fun for me, but I can't weld.

 

Well my car is lowered and if the pipes run under the control arms then I can't see there being much room between them and the ground. I'd hate for some road kill to hit my turbo piping at 75mph.

 

Well I wory a little bit about ground clearance but I dont believe it will be that big of a problem. I live in the country so I will let you know of any problems with it I encounter.

 

i dont see the ground clearnace an issue. daryl bassani makes the piping and john urist would not market a product if there was an issue. those who can afford a kit like this i would think would be careful as to what they do. i can see more of a problem with cars that have a lower front fascia or a low body kit. when you are driving around take a look at the cars on the road and pay attention to things under the cars. you will be suprised at what you see.

 

Well the install is almost complete, my installer is now finishing the install of all my control arms. This evening he was finishing the insatll of the intercooler and he said it was a really tight fit. Said it wasnt a problem but it was a pain in the but. He said that hopes to have it on the Dyno in the morning. I will cross my fingers and call them around lunch tommorow.

 

good luck and hopefully you will get it today. im excited to hear the results. make a post in the main 05+ forums so more people can read what has been going on.
