We hope app 60 days, but delays have put it back where I assumed we would have it already.....but like anything else new...


No on the engine bay mount, but someone steps up we will do it as well.

The LFX single turbo were finishing now we are going to try and build a jig for the piping so we can offer it as a kit.

Tracy and I had talked a bit about mounting the turbo under the hood. But with the amount of heat its producing and no ventilation on a stock hood, it would have been stupid.

That's why there are aftermarket hoods? Having turbos on the bottom of the car can be a terrible idea unless its strictly a track car. Snow, rock, water and debris can really mess up an under mount turbos.

I have a set of hex vents if you need some they work excellent to get the heat out also some aftermarket hoods will do the trick too.

Think he's saying it would have been stupid to put a turbo in the engine bay without having some ventilation (no vents in the stock hood)...
