Maybe his heater went out and this was a cheaper route?


EDIT; or he has the A/C pointed at it for a cold air intake?

I bet that bitch makes some cabin heat and is hella loud when it spools, better roll with the windows down so it doesn't pull a vacuum on the interior lol.

pulled the link up, didn't see any pics. Did you have to have an account?

That's probably easier than replacing the heater core....

[Jimbo]

That seems......ridiculous.

Hope that turbo never starts leaking oil.

yea no shit, what PITA.

[scootro]

why not put it on the roof!? lol..

[YALE]

That carpet's still pretty damn close to the hot side! Dang!

[oh1bullitt]

I like it. Thinkin outside the box. Probably one of the easiest turbo installs.

[OreoStang]

That is one strange mount

[turbostang]

whoa.

Aside from the obvious hackjob - they cut the area RIGHT next to the torque box and didn't box/brace it in any fashion. Not to mention the rear down bars are welded to sheet metal AND the car is minitubbed.

EDIT - looked at the link, looks like it has ladder bars..

[Ratt]

That dude seems like he WANTS his car to catch on fire...

I have to admit, I like the idea of a rear mount. After realizing how much heat comes from a turbo kit under the hood (a stock one at that) it would be nice to get all of that out of the engine bay altogether. HOWEVER, I can't believe someone would put that shit INSIDE the car! That's just plain retarded. I don't care if it works or not!
