um... soo... would it work well? i cbf reading all his writing... not that Im getting any ideas... but interesting thought...

I've seen it a lot, it's pretty common with Corvette's. It's to do with engine bay size restriction. I've seen them mounted just near the transmission on newer Corvette's. Dunno how it would go with response though but maybe that HUGE V8 makes up for the loss.

Tight squeeze!

yeh seen it done on one of those shows like pimp my ride on foxtel.

a US things.does this guy bother running a cooler? as some dont bother.

Interesting.

The Yanks got some different ideas.

I noticed the car does not have an intercooler.

So the way I see it, by installing the turbo under the car on the outside, (Cold) air can easily get to the turbo.

Also since the turbo is exposed to the outside air, the turbo housing can act as the intercooler.

Only down fall is if the car is too low, something might hit the turbo and the pod will suck in a lot of dirt and shit from the ground.

Not to mention water from puddles etc.

damn..that corvette setup with the gate/screamer out the back..

wonder what that'll sound like

[adznight]

Pretty freaking LOUD I'm guessing

[evade]

funny because the link you posted says they are certified and legal in some of the usa states...thats pretty cool..

epa would have a field day with that here

no mufflers, external gate, yet its ok for US emissions..sucks to be us

True, sucking water is not a good idea.

And the USA were not allow to import the R34 GTR because it did not meet the USA emission test...

Here is a Mustang with a similar application, air cooled turbo.

Aren't turbo's 'muffling devices'? Heard that somewhere along the line.. Of course, a complete lack of Cat Conv is a problem.

Yep a tuning company over in the ol' US of A has been doing this to BMW's for ages. They were also placing the turbos right at the back of the car.

When I questioned the lag of such a setup it was pointed out to me that as there is almost a constant flow of exhaust gases to turn the turbo it is almost constantly providing boost and hence the lag wouldn't be as noticable as you would think. I wasn't entirely convinced but it does make sense.

damn that would be loud as......

bah, i would have thought that it would face the same problems in terms of response as any other turbo. The big difference being that it has to pressurize an extra 2.5m of pipe before entering the inlet.

someone posted up a clip a while ago with a porche with a similar setup. that thing sounded like a monster hungry for babies.

[SmashBoxx]

that's so sexy!! looks great!

[Phatboy]

If u got pulled over here with that setup because the officer thought you had illegally turbo'd your Excel or something you could pop the hood and say "Look, no turbos!" He wouldn't be able to see them either without a hoist if it's in the midde of the underbody.
