Now, going back to the V1 kit…
It is possible to use the new charge piping going from the turbo to the intercooler, with a new unmodified E compressor cover with the V1 manifold. The air filter would stay the same. You would need the three new pipes going from turbo to FMIC, and one 90* 2.5” silicone coupler. The turbo is clocked differently, but that is all. It is a simple changeover.
Here is a picture of the V1 kit with the new V2 charge piping:
All installed, using the V2 manifold, V2 down pipe, V1 recirc pipe, and V1 Y-pipe going to the F.I dual exhaust:
THE PRICE OF THE NEW V2 KIT DOES NOT CHANGE.
BONUS TO THE V2 KIT:
If you already have an oil cooler kit, you do not need to order one with the turbo kit. If this is the case, the price of the kit is $210 less. So, a complete twin scroll turnkey turbo kit without the oil cooler is $6,785 + shipping and PayPal.
So to sum it up, here is what is different:
*No need for oil filter relocation kit (so only 2 oil lines, to and from oil cooler)
*Retain OEM filter part number
*Oil thermostat will be included (Mocal)
*No need to fight with intercooler piping (routed on the driver side now)
*Kit will be compatible with all aftermarket oil cooler kits
*More turbo options, with SP compressor covers (4" inlet 2.5" outlet)
*No need to modify compressor cover (weld 90* elbow on outlet side)
*Larger air filter
*Much easier to install with new IC pipe routing
*Kit is compatible with all aftermarket oil cooler kits
*2012+ model years do not need to remove OEM oil cooler
At this time, I still don't think that the kit will work with the RHD cars, due to the steering knuckle being in the way of the larger air filter.
Now I just have to build a lot of these kits, since the demand has gone through the roof recently.
