Any interest in a Bolt on SVX turbo kit?

I'm currently designing and (will be building it next week) and bolt on up pipe and down pipe for my SVX.

I will be using a T4 flange because of the turbo I will be using, as well as a 3" v-band down pipe flange.

I was just wondering if there is any interest in these if I decide to build a few.

I could change flanges on the pipes if people wanted. The down pipe will go all the way to the cat back, totally by passing the catalytic converter.

Re: Any interest in a Bolt on SVX turbo kit?

Well for the up pipe, I will be using 2" Mandrel bent piping (not sure gauge yet but something thick so it wont crack under pressure.

Im not looking at doing a FULL turbo kit right now, just looking at building the up and down pipes to make turbo installation that much easier on our cars.

As for the price... just parts +labour. I'm not looking to charge people a crazy amount of money for parts just because its for a car that not many people modify

Where are you placing the turbo?

Where the Stock air box and washer bottle go.

Re: Any interest in a Bolt on SVX turbo kit?

the up pipe Idea is generally the same. The location is not. As well my design will have a MUCH larger down pipe, that one looks like it would choke off a turbo VERY badly.

Re: Any interest in a Bolt on SVX turbo kit?

downside to that setup is the lack of an itercooler setup

That's perspective. Anyone can correct me, but if using low boost, an intercooler is not necessarily necessary, and not using one can reduce a lot of pipe placement, cutting, and cost. You're talking about a sacrifice in efficiency for sure, but...

even if i was running small boost, i'd get at least a small intercooler, have it setup, RAM AIR style

Within reason I may be interested. Post your price, or PM it to me if you rather.
