its pretty self explanatory actually.

there was a circular hole above his drive side head light in the hood of his car where the turbo most likely was.




like that but it wasnt in the bumper, it was in the hood.

what does a turbo look like on a hood? i see your picture of a rotor surrounding a hole for the CAI in the bumper but curious as to what you mean by turbo in the hood.

you have never seen a drag car where the turbo is right int the hood.?.

or tech. the air filter of the turbo is in a hole that was cut into the hood.



and i want to know is because my manager is friends with him.
2) he almost BBQ'd my *** when i was on my bike.
3) just want to know if he is on this site.

Never heard of a turbo mounted "in the hood" and I can't see how that would be feasible with the exhaust having to be routed up through the engine compartment to the turbo and then back down.

I've been a supercharger set up like that, with a hole cut in the hood and a scoop + air cleaner poking through it (usually with a cowling over it).
