since on the L20B the intake and exaust manifold are on one side....(the right side)

what about from the header, route the exaust pipe under or around the transmision and locate the turbo on the left side out of the tight space....

and route the intake pipe over/behind the valve cover/head.

would it work...i know its all about action instead of talk but is it a good idea...

suggestions please.....any

so what do you guys think of my idea?????????????????????????

not big on it personally.

i would say locate the turbo further forward into the battery /washer bottle space, instead of putting it under the car.

(i have no idea what side the battery in on in a 620 ute, so you may have to relocate it to a marine box on the tray)

this would open up a lot of unused space and provide you with an easier place to locate the turbo to construct manifolds and inlet piping.

This is an interesting idea. I wouldn't do it, but it's still interesting.

ApHaSia, what magazine did you see this in?

the turbo is not going to be under the truck. but close to the side of the head.

But if i deside to do it....

will it really work..well????

why and why not????

will i need a intercooler??if i don't want one what are the ups and downs..and what will be the power loss if not???thanks

and i'm thinking of making it draw trough turbo..carb setup..any suggestions????/

if you're going draw thru you can't use an intercooler. it acts as a fuel trap - one backfire and your intercooler will become "space junk"

you could make a fuel chiller though.

have you read the books i suggested?

yes i read those books but i still like second opinions....????

o.k. with a t3/t4 hybrid garret turbo draw through and the setup i will have..what is my estamaited horsepower??whats the highest boost psi i could run on the L20B?..like for it to last?? what could i do to the L20B for it to handle more boost psi?????reply..thanks

400 hp is possible, see here.

yes i like that..do you know what he had to do to the L20B for all the mods/31PSI!!!!or do you know or have an idea??

please i'm getting closer to my dream
