Not to mention, a hacksaw and 10-15 mins of cutting and somebody has a new turbo without ever popping his hood. I'm just not seeing enough positives. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic because it's so different.
*edit* Since you posted answers while I was typing/proofreading my above comments, I will add this: How is it stealth when I can clearly see the wastegate protuding beneath the vehicle in the first picture?? |
mind you this is not a 2.0L motor. its 5.7L and that on a normal engine with fmic you have like 6ft of piping anyhow. there are no problems with pressure drop. the "hardpipe" quickly pressurizes and there is quick throttle response.
as for the stealth factor how many cops or other people for that mattler look next to the muffler for a turbo and wastegate, and even if they did notice it they wouldnt know what it was.
the compression isnt 11:1 , i believe thats the LS2 6.0 motor. compression is a tad lower on the ls1 which is why it can be boosted and the ls2 cant. his engine is 350 hp stock anyways.
