Has anyone ever boosted and was able to hide the turbo and blow off valve so when people open the hood, the engine bay would either look stock or non-boosted(intake/header etc..). Please post your ideas.

 

Heatshields... or you can always mount them near your rear wheel like the camaro guys are doing, lol.

 

why would you want to hide it ? just curious

 

You may be able to fool people if you got a custom manifold that hung really low, then you may utilize a headshield. To hide your bov, check our full-races IC backdoor design. or the STS kit like precisionh23a said
IMO, its a waste of time and energy

Yep. Thermal energy

 

I run internal gate therefore my manifold has nothing to run external gate. Also, I welded the bov to the lower part of the charge pipe. I was going for the comptech icebox intake look.

 

remote turbo system maybe?

 

expensive.

i was thinking about using stock heatshield and welding it to the manifold, then doing a comptech icebox with the blow off valve inside of it.

 

post up some pics of this, I wanna check out your progress. Sounds a bit much, but sleeper look

 

One of my friends did a "hidden" turbo kit on a civic before. It used a dc header and mounted the turbo down low between the oil pan and firewall. I believe it was non intercooled and had a very small charge pipe going up to the throttle body. Then there was an old intake pipe cut up to fit to look like a normal intake. The kit was made for one of his customers, and I never heard any progress after it was done.

 

Heat shield and my BOV is under my charge pipe.

 

hey deluzional, i dont have a pix of this but i saw it in a car once. i was and still am a newb at turbo so i couldnt tell until he told me

 

here's a thread about a hidden setup

maybe PM him and ask for pics cause they are now X's.

 

omg, thanks so much. BIG HELP!

 

U can still HEAR a turbo car.

but that "tony the tiger" boosted with ITBs was a nice sleeper setup

 

yea, i dont mind the blow off valve or spool noise.

 

here is that guys website with the hidden setup.
