i was just looking at the pictures and was wondering is this a cold air system? it looks like the intake is on the left of the motor sucking hot air? also will this fit with the dual pass system (theres an extra resovior) or is that not needed anymore
edit: im pretty sure im an idiot, the air passes through the intercooler first doesnt it

And yes the air passes through the air to air intercooler before it hits the intake. As far as the air filter that you see next to the motor that is what is fed in to the turbo 3'' inlet. And that can be some what hot since it will be passing through the intercooler before it enters the cylinders.

It's really to hard to explain over this. Here is a link go read these. They will help you understand exactly how a turbo system works.

it doesnt make sense to cool the air then compress it because its just gonna heat right back up. pressure and heat go hand in hand. so it only makes sense to pressurize it then cool it down while keeping the pressure up so you can have a nice dense air charge without the power robbing heat.

I'm really not to sure what you're trying to say, but if you click that link the first thing is a picture diagram showing you the flow and setup of a turbo system. Hopefully someone can help you out more than what i can. Sorry man

luciano, you are correct here.
1. Air gets sucked in through the filter to the turbo inlet.
2. Air gets compressed in the housing using the exhaust gases to do the work.
3. Hot compressed air comes out of the turbo and flows through the intercooler and then it becomes cool compressed air.
4. Cool compressed air goes through the throttle body, into the intake manifold, and finally into the combustion chamber.

Your either reading it wrong or its wrong all together. i haven't seen it myself so i couldn't say for sure. i may not have a degree or an outstanding track record but i like to think myself smarter than the average bear

The exhaust gasses never re enter your motor. They travel through the turbos hot side which spins(spools) the turbine blades then the exhaust gasses are released out in to the downpipe. Air is generated from the intake side(cool side) of the turbo when the exhaust side blades spin they are connected to the cold side and they spin which creates air. The two forms of air never mix.
Am i right here??

Sorry but number three is wrong....

You should really be careful trying to teach someone w/ a custom built turbo car how a turbo system works.

You didn't fix anything thing because there was nothing broken. you were misinformed. you probably read the diagram wrong just like you did that post. but i digress, when can we expect track times for all these cars. i know there is still work to be done but just a guess

Meaning i fixed what i said in the post that i miss typed and left a part out. Dude stop getting bent out of shape over this. What i don't get is ALL air is HOT when it comes in from the air filter/intake. Being were it will be above the fender well is a good idea because air flow does travel up that and it is out of the way of all elements. Let it go man, if you don't like his set up that's cool don't buy it. But I'm sure Bill knows what he's doing with this design.

Hey dude ya i was thinking of that but i wasn't sure as to how wicked of a bend you would have to make to stay under the hood clearance and stay above the motor mount since its a 3" pipe. I might try it once i get the kit.
