Is it just me or does it seem like there is not enough piping to be a turbo setup.. Looks like one of the CAI's that look like an intercooler..

Can we get a better pic of the engine bay?

1st pic is really shtity.

3rd pic i have a hard time making out the FMIC

the silver piping coming from what appears to be your intake mani does look like a KN cold air intake.

i dunno..im not saying its fake..but it doesnt really seem turbo-ish

nice looking car tho! any vids?

Nice car,

But your intercooler sticks out of the bottom of the front fascia. You should have done proper research to get the right sized intercooler. Just looks tacky IMO.

Oh and I'm referring to the 4th picture in the parking structure.

I wasnt trying to call bullshit on you.. I was just going on the pic of the engine bay where you can only see it coming out of the throttle body and no more charge piping that you can see.

Im not saying its a fake.. I was just wanting better pics of the engine bay. Turbo corolla is def a sleeper cause I dont think that I have ever seen a corolla that year model that is turbo'd

there is only one pipe that you can see in the bay pic.. turbo setups have more than just one pipe running from the intake into the wheel well

Since when?



That's only the intake piping. The hot side piping is on the other side of the block along with the exhaust manifold, turbo and the rest of the exhaust, just like hahn's lsj turbo. The intercooler piping likely goes under the block or around the side.
