Any pics of the hot side routing with a stock K member??

The stock K member is the biggest reason I have not looked heavily into a turbo on my cobra.

Yea i can get a few pic. I have the FF CG fab hot side with only a open down pipe. Dont see anyway to run exhaust without goin under k member with stock k. Headers arent close to the k member but installed a 1/2 k member drop to give myself more room between header and body/frame rail.

Hey when you have time I would like to get some info on your kit and what kind of tune you isedm I really want to turbo charge my mach!

Its a cg fab hotside and everything else is custom. I have a custom tune from xXx in pensacola. There is no way I'd ever do a mail order tune. Looks like your only about a hr from me.

well when i had it tuned i didnt have my boost bypass valve plumbed right and it made the numbers it does in my sig. i had one port on the boost bypass valve capped off so my tuner told me to take it off and it instantly woke the car up! i swear it gained at least 20 whp its a completely different car. it was making 7.5 lbs of boost before now its about 8.5-9 lbs. i plan on putting it back on the dyno in the spring to see what its at.

I would without a doubt do a 4R70W if i had a turbo too, nice stock looking setup and it would stay in boost unlike a manual imo. i cant wait to see it with the RTS':beer:

Depending how it was plumb up it was probably bleeding boost off back to the top side of the blower. Ill have pics of the RTS ASAP :D Ill also get pics of of the K memeber and hot side when i change wheels.
