Sorry for the delay guys. I thank you for being patient. We actually already made up 1 kit using forward facing headers and honestly it was not appealing and was going to be higher in cost from our price point I want this kit to be at. So we started over with a set of stock manifolds and this is much,much better way to go. The turbo mounts up front and center and the charge pipes are reversed of the way the v8 kit is. Here is a few pics for you. The turbo we started with was going to be to large as well and spool time would suffer so we sent it back and got another one that is actually a little smaller in size ,however will still provide the same airflow with better spooling/quicker spooling. Here is some pics for you.

i thought this was going to be a top front and center mounted turbo. i was hoping to see the header work and a turbo that would be easy to change out when needed.
i still look forward to seeing what comes of this but it wasnt what i was hoping for. how dificult would the install be on this one? will it require scavange pump? |

No scavenge pump needed. It will be gravity fed. From the beginning the turbo was going to sit in the same location as our V8 kit and it is. The Headers would be nice but with the A/C line the way they are and the fact we wanted both sets of headers to look uniform, there was no way for us to make them look uniform. The another factor in our kit is the cost. I am wanting a cost effective way to turbocharge the V6 engine. Installation will be a day job to install. Chris |

Planning on visiting my sister, who lives about 5 miles from HPS this afternoon. So, going to swing by and check on my baby. Been driving my old DD, 03 Sunfire which hit 200k this week, that I was keeping around for my oldest son, who is 15, to learn to drive on, and man do I miss my car. I have not seen it in quite a while and planning to bring my camera. If I get some good pics, will post this evening.
