Intercooler Kits & Turbo Manifolds Done!
Well last night we finally finished prototyping the new turbo kit for BP DOHC motors.
We ended up able to run a 3" downpipe with an external wastegate, but should be able to get the same with a internal wastegate with a slight bit of mods to our design. This pipe clears the A/C as well.
The intercooler setup looks awesome and is off getting powder coated right now. Here are some pics below, Enjoy. Expect the kits to start around $1500 without the intercooler and around $2500 with.

braden, have you guys dyno'd any of these cars yet to see what gains you're getting. i havent followed the other threads too much, so sorry if you already posted it. and, stupid question... but are you sending these kits out as-is (like the pictures) or are pipes going to be polished or powder coated or anything? just curious about the appearance of the kit.

Turboge,
What brand and number is the turbocharger? What is the engine number and specs? Litre and compression ratio. The valve cover looks exactly like the BPT power plant except the inlet manifold.
Uh....I didn't see a blow-off valve and the AF sensor. This engine doesn't use a MAF sensor? I saw the air filter is at the bottom. Hmmmmm.....interesting.
Cost wise, I have to reserve my actual experience.

Would you recommend either a BPT swap or just putting on a turbo kit??? Basically.... What are the benefits of each method for turboing the Pro?
Thanks!
