It's not really complicated for a rear-mount turbo IMO.

I'll edit my posts so as not to affect the sale. It's just personal preference with how some of it is set up.

Post up the price range for this product and maybe a little detail on how the install goes. I want to go FI but right now in my life I cant afford 14K+ for twins installed, but this might be an option for me that will be in my close future, but if you must you can PM me.

The clearance isnt an issue. The Nismo is dropped .5 inches and still has room to be dropped if needed. The owner has no issues with clearance. This is just like a catback exhaust except this one has turbo!

What about heat melting the bumper?

What protects the turbo from objects or water in the road? I would think hitting a small puddle would be pretty detrimental to hot ceramic material.

It's a unique solution, Ill give it that, but your information doesn't sell the big red flags I'm seeing. Perhaps a little more information on this area would be helpful for anyone that is immediately taken back seeing it.

Those are just standard concerns for a rear-mount turbo.

If I installed it, I might fab something up to protect it, but it is not really any more vulnerable than the average muffler.
