The Turblown Low Mount Turbo System

It does work ok there but I way prefer it in the intake because , post turbo ,it will bypass air at part throttle and this in-turn delays entry into open loop (closed loop exit throttle) and can cause a lean condition . Also makes that hose blow off (if not well clamped) as many have experienced.
.... LOL
I am excited to get this bad boy going.

i also idle at 1.2K rpm so jet air really wouldnt be of use in my engine.
Isnt E 85 hard to run on the Street? Quality and availablity and all that?
Heck cant you almost get the same thing with a good water meth injection system. a good one that is mounted correctly--not the generic add on poorly placed nozzle kind.

One warning though, premix and E85 do not mix. When they touch each other it creates this black **** that is like snot and will clog everything. If you ever ran premix before then this will happen since the whole fuel system is coated in it. Only way I would consider using E85 is if the car has never had premix used in the gas tank.

I never personally had a problem with premix on E85 but we were using a vp oil and sonoco fuel other people in Australia are using it with various other premix oils and caltex E85 as it is taxed at a lower rate than 98 ron fuel about $1.08 per litre.

Yep. Only one that works to my knowledge is caster (sp?) based stuff like the nitro guys use in R/C cars.

93 here is very close to their 98 I do believe. E85 isn't readily available everywhere. I do know that here in the middle of the country. E85 is at about 20-25% of the gas stations and the different stations are split between having 91 or 93, but there are a few places like Quiktrip that always have the higher octane. There is also a lot of corn in endless fields that make you fall asleep while driving past it with some cows here and there for flavor.

Working in the power sport industry I assure you there is a big difference in quality in 2 stroke oils, mainly cheap stuff has a tendency to bead together and separate. This causes stuff to gum up pretty bad, stick with hi quality synthetic stuff, I only run Motul 800 in my car and there is no carbon buildup and it mixes real good.

Cool story bro.
The compressor inlet hits the engine mount bracket no matter how you position the turbo and we cannot get the turbo manifold to turbo V band to seal. Fixes will have to be performed. We took a break for a tuning weekend with Kane and he even helped in trying to get everything situated but even with his help it just wouldn't go. Back to the grill again.

Maybe you should just take the kit off and try to get a refund from turblown, or sell the damn thing (the kit that is); sounds like its not worth the trouble at this point...

Some components of the kit will be sent back. This kit is a huge pain in the *** but will be worth it in the end after all is said and done.
One cannot simply expect everything to simply come together when doing a build like this. I hope he can come up with something better for the engine mount and oil lines this go around.

It can be fixed and hopefully it does get fixed quickly. It's a decent kit, it just wasn't well thought out entirely or finished properly. But with a proper engine mount bracket and proper coolant lines it should be good to go.
