Re: omg look
Very nice.
Is this the first company to supply such a kit?
It says it comes with a drivers side header... what about passenger side?? Wouldn't you need the whole thing to run into one?

Re: omg look
Well it does say some modification necessary, my guess is that you have to modify your Y pipe to loop the exhaust from the factory header one one side into the new header on the other side that is just a flow through to the front mount turbo.

Re: omg look
You may not want to jump to conclusions, yes odds are it will work but without having anyone test it the results may not be all they are cracked up for. If the kit works the same as some of the Fiero kits for the V6 cars the results end up very mixed. It really depends on how far you want to go with the kit. Also I personally would call it over priced when you consider it says "The kit includes one passenger’s side all steel high quality header" and they charge you $350.00 for it. If it had two true headers it would be a better deal. Still a lot of fabrication to do. All we can do is hope someone tries it and lets us know on the results. This company has been building turbo systems for the Fieros for years. http://www.design1systems.com/turbo/index.html Also http://www.westcoastfiero.com/turbo_systems/turbo.html has a kit of sorts.

Re: omg look
Ive seen this before. Its crap.
Plus you still have to buy everything that would have to go into a turbo kit....except that pipe. you'd probably be better off getting a set of pipes bent.
Here is a better pic of the "system". Funny thing is you cant even see the $350 pipe

Re: omg look
that header has been around a very long time,there is one person on the board with that header,i do belive on there test car they made an aditional 40-60 hp @ 6 or 7 psi i belive its been a long time since i saw the dyno video.
the turbo header is a log style header, and does not leave much room for a downpipe, the pipes are 90* to the log, it would be much better if they make it 45* to the log

Re: omg look
bbsdesigns makes the header they post alot inthe power adder section if ur interested, but theres much better ways of building a header then this design specially for 350$'s
----------
