Low FRONT mount. give some feed back.

This kit will allow one to use the stock exhaust manifolds. Final turbo connection is still up to the end user. This is another option if you want a turbo kit but do not want the turbo in the engine bay. OR you like your rear mount and want faster spooling etc.
The kit will have an oil pump. The turbo compressor housing is just slightly lower the the frame.
You can see our air to air in one of the pics. We will have 3 options for our customers to choose.
500max
650+
and 500+ALL day long air to water. Add ice or at the race track HP numbers go well over 750hp.

Some prelim picks(mock ups) and as always getting peoples input.

the filter looks really close to the front tire. It might suck in lots of water spray when raining.

I like that setup, but would prefer to have the filter in the engine bay. Maybe a pipe running from the turbo up to the engine bay or somewhere that will not get wet with water. Make sure you don't use the oil pump that I had trouble with. They make on the Porsche that is a good pump, but its pricey.
I like the concept.

yea that a down fall for any low mount turbo. The base kit will more then likely look like that, with an upgrade option for the filter relocation or sheilding.

Jamest, which pump did you have troubles with. This unit will need one for sure.
Thanks

I dunno about that piping being lower than the frame rails. People that have lowered trucks might start getting a little scared with that setup. I know I wouldnt even be able to use it haha..

The kit looks like it would work great! I bet it makes the same power as the current one. Actually, it's hard to mess up a turbo kit and not make power.

From what I see on a regular basis, the pipe under the cross member might be too low, we get a lot of trucks that come in lowered and have a lot of scrapes on the crossmember.
The filter is definitely going to get wet, that'll be an issue with the maf of course. Typical of any remote mount turbo.

Did you conceal the feedline and return line that good or are they not installed?
If not, those are going to hang a little bit too.
Don't worry about the drain line being in the 6 o'clock position so it will drain correctly, mine drains just fine and you can see how horizontal it is.

The cold pipe under the truck I think we have a fix for. But all things cost, so really lowered guys will pay a slightly higher price. ;) for this one.
or we offer a hi front mount.
And why do lowered trucks drag so much are they in the weeds.
The air filter again there is a mod but at a cost. This set up is aiming towards a budget type of turbo system, with good parts.
Yea the oil lines are not ran yet, still working on it as a total set up., the oil drain will not stick any lower then the turbo does not. ;) good to know I can tweek that around if need be.
HP level probably the same for sure.

more pics to come.

I would have to go with the regular front mount turbo. Intakes that low make me nervous.

I don't want to put down the other rear mount turbo guys, but their pumps. This is a place I was referred to that has different pumps:
Gear Pumps AC/DC Oil / Fuel Transfer
Hope this helps.

not sure why everyone is down on the pumps sts uses. I have installed countless kits and have only had 2 fail.
Some of these have been on over 3 years.

The first beta set up will be using an STS pump I picked up about a year ago. LOL.
After that who knows.
I will be putting together a bad ass deal on some sets once we have all things ready to go.

KIT + IC for XXXX.00

Maybe I'm missing something here, but that is the EXACT pump that the STS kit uses. I had one on my truck for 2 1/2 years before I sold it and now it's on another truck and still running strong. I put 40+k miles on it.

oops, I gave you the wrong websight. That was the replacement pump I ordered. Yes it is the same pump STS uses just a little cheaper as I was quoted.
I 'll try and find the other websight
