You do not have to remove your crashbar, you do have to trim a bit of your bumper cover. Very minimal triming though. I still like the sidemount.

 

yeah, but IMO cutting the entire front grille out is more than minimal trimming. Don't get me wrong the front mount looks great but we are taking a little different approach at things with these Turbo Kits. We have put a lot of our efforts in trying to offer our customers a turn-key solution that requires minimal amount of work. Your xB looks good thought. I like it! :-)

 

Thanks, I had to only trim the bottom a bit I have not even tried to make the grill fit. I know its not for everyone, I actually really like your kit, had it been around sooner I would have probably went for it.

On a side note, where did you guys mount your fic, does your harness extend it into the cabin?

 

Yes, everything is mounted inside the cabin of the vehicle. I will post pictures from our installation manual soon. :-)

 

but isnt cutting a hole for the side mount the same?
and cant wait to see some people rocking this kit

 

actually...no, because when you cut the area out to do a front mount intercooler you eliminate the opportunity to utilize or retain the OEM Toyota Fog light kit. The DESCENDANT kit doesn't interfere with any OEM Accessories & requires much less cutting.

 

How do you guys think Auto xB2s will hold up to the power of the turbo kit?

 

probably the same as a tc
and yeah fogs i see what your saying i guess alot of people have them

 

Honestly we have not done an Auto Scion xB 2nd-Gen yet, but we are confident that things will be fine because of our success with the Auto Scion tC's which are currently roaming the streets of L.A. ;)

 

what HP are we talking here with the side mount kit? something about 300 at say 10-12psi?
-nick

 

On this current side mount intercooler set-up we have made over 350WHP 11-12psi. It works extremely well for such a small package.

 

That's more than enough in the xb.

 

thats probably about where mine would be

 

on what internals.

STOCK

 

I heard rods go at around 350 WHP, and autos go out at around 250-300 WHP

 

on a good tune you can make more then 350 on stock rods a guy here pushes 380 in stock form

 

I might be down for this.

 

dam.

 

yep, we've made over 350 on stock rods also but they are defiantly venerable at that point
