Having all the piping fabricated seems like a good idea. instead of fabrication from scratch each time.

You have the turbine side well matched. A compressor speed sensor along with pressure ratios could shed a lot of light on the compressor side.

I have a right hand drive HR and I am still looking for a cost effective single turbo application. I guess this is the same for the rest of the world.

The kit is as simple as you can get from a fabrication point of view considering this is a V6 engine, with an equal length primaries turbo manifold. Like you said, space is at a premium with these platforms.

As it sits, it is the most affordable turbo kit for the 370, and in very high demand. The members here are educated, and know what they are getting with this kit, and recognize that the price point is more than reasonable.

I only built 2 kits with dual BOV's, so the kit really only came with a single BOV. The "loudness" is comparable between the two.

I'm curious what the concern is with 'loudness' is on 'your' build. The kit as designed has all the good turbo noises, much more so than an equivalent TT kit with the turbos mounted with replacement exhaust manifolds.

The beauty of this kit is that turbo and BOV locations make it sound fantastic
