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 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.

downside to that setup is the lack of an itercooler setup

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