For that on E85 I would go triple pumps but I am by no means an authority on the subject.


Engine porn is awesome. I think I will avoid looking at more of this. Sometimes you have to choose between what you really want and a staying married. My wife would never read this so whatever

Negligible ROI unless needed to clear 6 bolt heads.

Would think less weight & heat (unless heat helps turbo? )

In layman terms....Heat helps turbos... the more heat/energy you can transfer to the turbo (rather than being conducted thru the metal) the better. factory manifolds are thicker and will not conduct heat as well as thin tubing.

Whats with the dents on the pipes the turbo is hanging off? Is that how the kits comes or did you have to do some special clearancing?

That is how my kit came. I did have to clearance the pass side wastegate pipe in order to bolt up the turbine housing. I also shortened up the oil lines (my preference).

Everything looks good. Waiting on windshield washer reservoir, but t got the pump all wired up and ran my vacuum/boost lines from the gates to the controller. 4 sets of tee fittings lol.

For the Camaro... got the following completed:

1 - Installed engine/tranny
2 - MM Catch can setup
3 - 80% of turbo kit
4 - oil/coolant added

A couple of notes:

1. The pass side turbo hits the frame rail at the compressor housing (see 4th pic). I used a grinder on the comp housing to make clearance.

2. Had to bend the snot out of my tranny cooler lines.

3. MAF flange on the intake tube came out right above the radiator hose (MAF wouldnt fit). I addressed that by using a 45 degree hose with some additional length (see 3rd pic).

4. Cold side on pass side runs into Stock Coolant Overflow, so I used the Huron Windshield washer reservoir as my coolant overflow.

Overall, happy thus far with the kit. For me, overcoming these issues was not a big deal.
