Hello all, been looking at forced induction since I bought the car in 2006. Have yet to get the funds together. But now that they are coming together, I'm looking very serious at getting a turbo setup. It has come down to three kits; Hellion (Most likely from Brenspeed) , Powerhouse (Direct) and Turbonetics (Jegs, best deal I could find). Any of these three will probably be ordered as a tuner kit as I have plans for the rest of the supporting hardware. Will contain a BB upgrade and probably 66-67mm turbo.
So why the quandary? The Hellion setup is at the top of my list. BUT, my car will be lowered by the time I get the kit by at least 1.5" in the front and 1.75" ish in the rear and I'm very concerned about scraping. Which is why I seek other kits. Is there anyone out there that makes a pipe that doesn't sit lower than the A-Arms? What have you guys done, for those already running Hellion's kit, to curb the problem? Again for those already running a Hellion setup, if you had to do it all over again, would you stick with Hellion or go elsewhere?
Thanks,
Jake
