Just the turbine housing

Would this even fit with the stock turbo housing? I mean the ZFR already is touching the firewall as it is.

When my turbo went I didn't have the cash for the ZFR but if you want the 7163 buy the K04r now it'll be fun until the 7163 is done in 5 to 10 years

Come here it's the same thing we have so many drivers that shouldn't be driving in the rain let alone snow. I've seen crashes because there is snow beside the road! First snowfall we usually have at least 250 crashes that day just in town

7163 has been approved for production and is in manufacturing right now. We will have them on the site in a couple weeks. I expect them to be shipping by mid December.
