If I have time today I really want to get the oil feed and drain lines run so I can finally bolt the turbo on, driving it with open exhaust is getting annoying it's so loud.

Holy yeessss....turbo!

Oil feed and return lines.

[yotaboy510]

Nice!

[Clownmeat]

Got the oil return done today but not the feed so I couldn't bolt the turbo on yet, maybe tomorrow.

That is an interesting turbo set up. Why do you have it so far from the engine?
Isn't there going to be major turbo lag?


It looks like you are an avid off roader, will a turbo give you the low end power that you need for traversing rocks and rough terrain?

I like turbos and they do provide free power but most of the time, they need to wound up to produce major power.

FWIW, I jealous that runner doesn't have a turbo. My Audi has 2 of them and it rocks .

Rear mount turbos surprisingly dont have any noticable more lag than a regular under hood setup.

Plenty of low end power with the correct size turbo. If you were to choose one to large it wouldn't want to spool until higher rpm then you would have a problem off road.

Just doing what STS does without spending $4000, I'm almost done and have about $500 in it.

A pic of what STS's kit looks like installed.

Good looking rig and I'm interested in the turbo setup. Where are you going to pull fresh air from? And how are you doing it for $500? I want one.

Thanks. Air filter will be just above my compressed air tank in the back, having the body lift it will be about 4" higher than the bottom of the doors so water shouldn't be an issue. If I have to I will run a snorkel off the rear quarter intead of the front fender, I dont know, haven't got there yet. I will have less than $1000 total because I am doing it all myself and not buying high dollar brand name stuff.

Are you going to run a muffler with the turbo set up?

[Clownmeat]

No, the turbo will quiet it down plenty. I will run exhaust pipe out the back where it was though.

Still makes me laugh, at around 40 seconds you can hear the horn beep when my chest hits the steering wheel and my wife almost starts laughing.
