yea the bolt the same but clearance is the factor because of the dash

i have seen two different kits with manifold with the turbo going under or off to the side. the ones that goes to the bottom have a clearance of a couple inches and the heat shield is like right there.

ajp, greddy, and tsi- ajp and tsi have manifold that run the turbo towards the ground and the greddy have a smaller one that runs it off to the side

good luck

no kidding, vibrant has a good product out there. buddy, ssr, or hytech is the biggest or even custom out there but the price is the steepest

I'm just lettin you know it's louder. I think it sounds great too and would be my second choice. If I wanted the canister again, I would have it in a heartbeat. Have you heard it with a race header.

[RaidenSI]

well i finally got around to hooking my speakers into my car after 5 hrs of messing with stuff trying to fit my big hands under the dash \ i finally got it all hooked up and it clean looking no wires showing anywhere on the inside

I know. At least the ep and dc had room under the hood. You have to remove the cowl to do anything on our car.

all motor car brake boosting, the result looks like a v8 torque jump, the motor sets up a preload and acts like it rips the front end off.

get a real car and try it.

real car, huh?

Wait a minute...

Brake boosting loads up peak boost during braking to curb turbo lag. While racing from a roll, you have no load, therefore to compensate, you give about 75% open throttle and use your left foot to brake and keep your car lined up. When you hear that third beep, you let go of the brake and hit WOT. Since you are already at full boost, it launches you off of the line.

You can't brake boost an all motor car, which isn't boosted.
