S&R Performance is handling the build and a fabricator from Titan Motorsports is doing the fab work!

Haha it's gonna be a long process designing a functioning single setup for a high compression NA motor with 2 TB's and then theres a lot of fab work to be done.

Wow, I had no idea you were going single. You could build a low compression motor on the side while you're building the turbo set up then swap and whatnot. I seen that idea on nico if I'm not mistaken

Was it this one?



This was the first top mount single, done by Lutz. Ryan had nothing but problems out of it all the way until he nuked it.

It's actually a pretty good read and he lucked out like a champ at the end! Now he owns a SRT-10 Viper.
