Alot of turbo talk lately. Just curious, for those who have been there/done that, what turbo did you pick, why, and if your project is on the road, how do you like it?

A heater box pretty much isn't even a consideration at this point.. The design of the header may make it possible, but we are not working toward it.

I don't do much for full race cars, I prefer to create dual purpose engines/components that are very happy on the street, so this system is realy being researched primarily FOR THE STREET....

Every version MUST use the DTM for cooling, the entire turbo arrangement is being built with it as an integral component. The stock cooling system will limit possibilities of performance as well as place PHYSICAL limitations on the entire system. The DTM will allow the intercooler to be perfectly placed as well as the Turbo placed out of the engine bay all while creating an engine that cools superbly and simply.

The DTM however, is not the limiting factor on the heater box addition as I have heater ducts that can be added to any DTM easily. The limiting factor is getting everything to fit *the smart way* while providing a clean arrangement that does it's damn job!

Making a system thats less than a full arrangement that allows all the old stuff to be romved and scrapped creates nothing for me except headaches when guys create an issue for themselves....

I'm all about "Doing it all the way or not at all"... And in this instance that means everything other than your longblock can go into the dumpster, bolt on my arrangement and haul ass.... And if you want heat I ****might*** be able to make it work, but if it increases temps onebit, or makes the system look like crap it won't be getting my name on it.

I don't settle for compomises, and if that means I'll sell less systems if stock cooling cannot be utilized, thats just fine and I have already made my decision that I won't even consider stock cooling for this arrangement....
