Phoenix7 will become famous soon enough
1. where would it be mounted? THe bin doesn't seem right to me. And there isn't much room in the exhaust system. Too far back and it's stupid close to the fuel tanks too far forward and it's like mounting a stock TII turbo.

2. piping and custom work. Where is there enough room to mount the turbo, piping, wastegate, etc., etc.?


3. Bad weather. Would the turbo or HOT pipes be damaged by COLD water on the ground after a storm/rain? Imagine full boost into a puddle of cold water.

4. Oil/water cooling? Where will the reservoirs be (bins?)? oil/water pumps would be necessary to plumb in it's own cooling system. Unless you use the stock oiling system (will there be enough pressure in the system to make it work?).


I've followed this thread since the beginning but didn't post since I'm not a fan of these setups.


"Actual photo of how hot a traditional front-mounted turbo can get. You do not want this near critical plastic and electrical components in the engine bay, or mounted under or near your feet causing significant driver and passenger discomfort."

SO they decided to install them next to the plastic vette fuel tanks??


Where, under the FC, can you set this up:
