They're living up to the company name. All a tease at the beginning. Would it help if I got some singles out?

we are in Michigan, so i know what you mean. Shatty roads and shatty weather. My boss has done many of these on many other cars in Michigan and they have been driven all year with no problems. I will be writing a full write up and what not when its rolling.

sweet! how/where u gonna run the charge pipe and exhaust pipe though? ur gonna be pretty cramped for space under there. and like ^^this^^ guys said, undercar clearance really becomes an issue.

not for rough winter climates with alot of snow.

at least in the winter the snow can cool the turbo :-P I'll have to wait and see more details because now my mind is running with every way winter can screw my setup up.

I look underneath my car the other day and I see the all scrapes on my exhaust and I can just see a hole getting rubbed in charge piping or on the turbo housing, a bolt breaking and losing ur turbo on the free way and taking out a car behind you, and you gotta jack the car up every time you gotta work on it.

Pics of the engine bay? Whats holding the turbo, exhaust hangers?

Very unique though!

The car has the TRD drop and there still a lot of room The front cross member is lower then the turbo ite so if you can get over a speed bump now youll have no problem. The only way youll have issues is if you back up into a wall hard

The turbo is held by a cradle system. The inlet and outlet flanges have braces welded to them for the hanging and one is bolted to the trubo housing, then the bottom is braced by a support bar to the cross member. We have placed the TRD exhaust up to the car where its position was and the Turbo sits higher then the trd muffler did about 1 1/4 in higher. So you should have no scraping issues.

When I saw it first I said the same thing thats gonna scrape but when we lowered it and say the gap i was a believer.
