ok, we are about to get gung-ho on this car now that everything we need to finish is here. how important is turbo placement(as in drawing in cold air froim out side the car) i was thinking of mounting it sideways right in front of the motor (like a million other lsx f-bodies) for ease of installation and fab work. its a 4th gen camaro, truck manifolds. well pretty much truck manifolds, they are actually fox body shorties put on an LS flange. the car has an air to water with a huge (7-8 gallon) ice tank.
if its drawing in warm air, roughly how much power, and boost is left on the table? i have heard at speed there is as much as 100hp and more, and some have said they were able to make higher boost at speed... or is this something i'm just blowing this outta proportion? i have noticed some of the fastest guys running the truck manifolds have it facing the same way i'm thinking of... i'm just butting heads on the way this should be set up... two people building a car, and have two different opinions...
so is mounting the inlet so it draws fresh could air really that much of an advantage with a good air to water as opposed to setting it in the engine bay?
