im just wondering about getting i/h/e and keeping them after turboing

im sure the Headers will not work , and i know u can keep the Exhaust , just that its restrictive

but is there any way u can fit a short ram intake or a cold air intake under the hood instead of just a K&n filter for the turbo ??? i know it seems hard but does anyone know if there is a way? it seems like my short ram will go to waste especially since i want to turbo now

 

Sorry to say Research more on turbo bro... You need a lot of studying before getting into turbo... One thing... you dont use a header cause its less restrictive... You don't use one because you can't with turbo... You would need a turbo exhaust manifold... Second... no short ram... And exhuast.. you would probably want to go with 3" piping. Turbo doesnt like back pressure. You need to research a lot more bro...

 

yea i knew about the header = exhaust manifold thing but i was just wondering if there was any way to fit the large piping of the intake in there

 

eh i go to uci too i must know something about exhaust manifolds haha

In where? As the turbo piping? You need turbo pipiing for turbo bro.. cant go cheap for turbo man...

 

u know how the k&n filter is supposed to connect to where the blue arrow says intake , i was just wondering if there is any possible way to fit an intake (including the piping) to get it the filter farther away from the hot engine

 

You will have to get a custom pipe or piping for the filter.

 

it doesnt matter much about hot air being sucked in because its gonna go through an intercooler anyways, so dont worry about that so much

 

Many people use their cold air intake for custom intercooler piping. it's nice because you need the same pipe for intercoolerpiping that goes to the throttle body anyway.

 

the problem w/ using a CAI for your throttle body piping is that most of them are aluminum and you can't weld a steel BOV flange to aluminum.

you might be able to use PART of your SRI to relocate the air filter to under the battery tray but you'll have to cut it to fit right
