Default Chris Rado's Turbo Charged xB Pictures

Had the honor of hanging out with Chris Rado this weekend. Thought I would post a couple of pictures of his 08 xB. Chris and his crew are re-doing the current setup this week. Will post more pictures later. This thing pulls like a mother.......

i wonder which side-mounted intercooler they used- cuz space is really tight up front to fit one
only other option would be a custom hood with a top mounted intercooler

Heh, a tmic would be great, I'd have to park the thing next to all the WRX's at local car meets if I had that in an xB just for giggles.

But some flat black on that intercooler would help. Then again ... if your pushing 400+ or even 500+ HP ... do you really need to paint it, cause the guys you smoke arent going to see the front of the car anyway.

Kudos to Rado and his crew. If there is anyone out there who can put together a quality turbo set up its them. I wouldnt be surprised if the intercooler was custom as well.
