Whatsup every1,
Well now that I'm going to be removing my AC compressor and corresponding piping & misc parts. I have come across an idea that I'd like to get your guys's input on:
Does anyone think putting a turbo in place of where the AC compressor was would be a good idea? This should conceivably allow for room for a turbo as large as a single T-66 (possibly 88) but of course the piping would be a bit of a PITA to say the least.
I was thinking of going with possibly a GT28/30 (to start) then upgrade to a 42R or 42RS later on down the road when the engine can handle it component wise. If I couldnt get my hands on a GT series easly, I think a 60-1, or T66+ would work just as well. Of course intially I'd probably only be looking at running a wastegate with spring set at a 5-7psi for starters. That's why I mentioned the GT28/30 earlier, with such a low boost level it'd be nice to get a single T that would be matched enough to allow for quick spool and some decent CFM per psi at the low end of the boost spectrum.
I would route the stock manifolds in a Y pipe then run that back to the turbo with the down pipe going back to the exhaust ala single route instead of the current duals. Seemingly it looks like there may be some options for FM, which I'd consider the HKS V-CON Pro, E-Manage, or an ECU reflash.
Any1 every considered this before? I think it would be a great way to mount a single T in the engine bay w/out sacrificing the hood. But of course you'd loose AC so these kinda setup would only be for idiots, or hard-core power ppl. What are your guys's thoughts on such a setup?
