This could be a completly retarded thought but, has anyone ever thought about doing a remote turbo setup on a DSM? For those not familiar, it would be mounting the turbo back where the muffler would be. I don't know if there would really be anything to gain by doing so but it would at least be unique. Although it would cool down the engine compartment and free up some space.

I've seen pictures of a setup like that before. I want to say it was something Leon Reitman put together but I don't think that is correct. Nice work Nick!

yea, I like the twisted idea w/ the compressor wheel hanging out the hood. I like all the thermal wrap on all of the manifold/exhaust components, but why not wrap the turbine housing as well? Nice work on a nice custom setup, but don't let your timing belt/rear cam gear wear through your plug wires!

Why not spend $300 on some Eagle rods? You gonna wait til a rod breaks at 8500 RPMs and part of a piston goes through the turbo? Or do you not plan on making any real power?

You need to do some research. Remote mounts suck, they usually only do them if there isn't room in the engine bay. Your piping gets a lot longer and the exhaust gas isn't as hot, so you get less power.

Well it'd be nice if he wanted to make a lot more power, but to be honest, the owner of this car is 17 years old and right now he cant afford a bottom end. For now it's gonna have to stay suttle until he can get some rods in the block. Probably be a winter project.
17? Fuck'n bitch! LOL ;)
Nice work Nick!
