Turbo in fogs? Who did that install?

Some time ago I found someone who posted the link to the guys that did the turbo in the fogs of a W Body GP. I redid my computer and don't have their link anymore.

Anyone know who did that custom job. I remember they had the turbo kit priced out at about $3500, but can't remember their name...
 




yep, I have one big single in my drivers.....

****... thats impressive... custom high-rise intake manifold and the shortest exhaust pipes I've ever seen on a GP.
 
URLOSN's build is much more impressive in my opinion, and if it's my opinion then that means it's also a fact, so yeah.


He just doesn't post enough pictures, noob.

Thanks! mine isnt a tube chassis, sponsored, or lightened in any way.

Why now just now, and then later as well? :th_biggrin2:


But that's exactly the point, yours isn't tube chassis, sponsored, or lightened. Just like Intense's white GP, and look at the times it ran. Much more impressive than the blue one or Matt's car. Your car can be driven, Intense's white car could be driven.

URLOSN and MattM's turbo placements are very cool/unique. Both cars are highly innovative in their own way.

As far as running a regular cradle, MattM's GP (down to 9.01 before that new chassis/header design), ScottC's 9.49 GP, Zoom's 9.98 GP, and JeffK's 10.00 Impala were all using factory chassis layouts to that point, with varying levels of weight reduction & race prep suited for their 1/4 ET requirements. Without the wheelie bar and suspension limiting (necessary for their 60fts), they'd all be fun to drive on the street. Matt even drove his to the Norwalk hotel after running the 9.01.

If proper care is taken, as the two guys pictured above do, either by filtering or running closed-course only, then it's definitely an option to fab a setup like that.

Personally, I'd be more inclined to place it like the blue Intense GP had it, behind the front plate opening with a screen for filtering. I'm a fan of symmetry, and I'm sure URLOSN can attest to the spacial restrictions dealing with the body & such near the foglight.

In any respect, all cars mentioned are/were awesome, so we'll leave it at that & hope some more cool projects come of these discussions in the future.
