It would be neat to run turbo piping through the stock KA intake and hide the SMIC in/under the airbox. A blow-through MAF setup would make it easier, since there would only need to be one pipe going from under the stock manifold shield to the SMIC/airbox area, and it could probably be hidden well enough among the power-steering equipment.

Keyword in doing a sleeper setup is simple. It's not about you making things like pipings and others disappear by routing them any other way. The idea would be to make them look as if it belongs there and should be there like OE.

Sleeper means looking stock, and if someone routed piping to make a 240sx look NA when it is actually turbocharged, then that would be the ultimate sleeper setup.

I could put a sr20 in my car and it would look sleeper if I used all the OEM equipment.

IMHO and I have done this probably more than most here in Zilvia. Trying to make something look like what isn't to be just makes it more pop out and someways give it away. Plenty of little details that gives it away for me. Making it look as if its suppose to be there personally is the sleeper. But thats just me so were all entitled of our own views.

Just sold all my top mount turbo junk last month and I kinda have the same idea in my head right now. I'm gonna reuse my old ebay CAI as a cold pipe, buy a S13 hot pipe, and try to see if I can get an upgraded Jetta/Golf intercooler mounted somewhere under the stock airbox.

Like one of these ebay joints
