thanks for the tip. Definately something I've been interested in. I know you say it's street driven but what do you do about filtration? Every forward facing turbo kit I've seen has shown a bare turbo with no filter on it. I'm assuming you don't use your MAF either....

Not this kit.. Buschur made provisions for Air filter along with carbon block offs for the grill..

Amazing setup! I had problems when I ran a civic radiator though... I kept overheating in traffic and had to go back to stock.

There is a very fine line between a good downpipe and a good filter while keeping AC and PS. I spent many hours trying to lay out the best position for both. As simple as this sounds,this was the most difficult part of the project.
