ok after some thing and not doing hw and in class school school work, i came up with an idea for a KAE-T and make it were if you do get popped a cop may not see it easily.

here's a pic then i'll go through it:

red: intercooler piping to intake + blow off valvepeach: turbo on a bottom mount exhaust manifoldblue: piping + air cleaner to turbo openingwhite: intercooler piping to turbo

ok, so basically it's not a very high horsepower setup if you can notice. i was just thinking of utilizing a sr or some kind of sidemount intercooler. the turbo T25/T28/or even maybe a T3. custom piping through the OEM intake piping and then through the OEM intake box hiding the blow off valve. now the intercooler would be installed maybe on the driver side opening on a piggy bumper:maybe something like that but in black.

Now i am wondering the piping that would be going to the intake manifold is cold is it not??? if so then where the piping would be going through the OEM box with the blow off valve it would be ok to put the air cleaner that's going to the turbo opening in there, right? if not then i was thinking of keeping it out of the box and just sorta sitting there under nothing, but then people might be wondering if i'm going to be using the OEM box then why is the air cleaner out of the box... yeah...

this was just an idea i had for making a KA-T for DDing. just wanted some criticism on my idea. cuz if you guys think it'll work i might do it later on. if it does work then i have more questions.

It can be done with some research and stock parts from a SR20det. Here is a pic of my friends single cam ka-t.

He didnt even try to mod it to be sleeper status, but if he used a stock air filter box from a SR, put a heatshield over the manifold, used black couplings, and hide the oil line I am sure it would fool many cops.

Also hide all your gauges and get a oem style looking exhaust like a rsr ex-mag or a megan type 2 exhaust.



Also take a look at this article http://www.sportcompactcarweb.....html . It has to be the most sleeper status turbo engine bay ive seen.
