not bad for a diy kit. get rid of that radiator and get a non turbo one. it will route the upper coolant hose better and avoid heat soaking that hose. That type of hose cant handle the heat that the turbo is going to expose it to.

Add some upper support the the IC. The way its installed will allow it to flex and the lower brackets will break eventually.

Panda racing needs better quality vids....

Tell him to ditch the jdm windsheild sticker.

Though i see a japanese turbo and jdm bov (probably an ebay knockoff like mine) there is really nothing jdm about that car.

i see that most of the installs on theese cars have the turbo setup with the compressor on the drivers side. have you all done this cause thats how it was done before you or did you decide that it would be better for you. i have an rs and having my turbo flipped seems to give me lots of room for ic pipes and a cai.

Have fun making a downpipe! :7 One guy on here tried installing a T25 turbo the way you are saying and ended up selling his car from all the headaches the install gave him.

I seen all your videos nd from what i see it might be a smart investment to get a filter. You might wanna get one before somethin large like a rock puts it on punishment. Hell the dirt is already killing it!!!

this is not THE mexican turbo manifold
the manifold knowned under that name was made for the chrysler back exhaust engine, had no external wastegate flange and the turbo is facing cylinder 1 no cylinder 4

that's a chinese knock off of the threadstone one

or are you talking about a turbo car made in mexico ????

I'm confused here ha ha

yeah, i did have good luck making a downpipe. it's 2.5" mandrel and under the oil pan opens to a 3" catless. like i said, i like it better. i have a 2.5" cai because there's no ac. comp.
