creating my first vl turbo..need to know whats legal to do...cars a standard non turbo, becoming turbo. also 2 questions when installing the fmic do you still retain the metal crash bar behind the front bar or do you remove it? is it legal to cut a hole in the inner guard near battery tray to route the piping, or where can i get it engineerd? cheers marc

You need the bumper bar reinforcement, that's kinda what holds your bumper bar onto your car... so don't get rid of that. A front mount intercooler will fit in behind that, infront of your radiator. There are a couple "no holes" intercooler kits going around (at least there were a few years ago when i was stuffing around with vls) So maybe look into one of them if you wanna keep things legal. Remember all you need is for a cop to "suspect" that something isnt legal and they can send you to regency. so try to keep everything fairly simple (or well hidden)

i got through regency with a front mount, but as said no holes kit and dont cut or remove the reo bar. pod filter is legal so long as its mounted too

what bout brakes? can u get away with just turboing it without touching brake upgrade...i have f+r disc brakes... how much attention do you guys out there get by the police when ya cruising around? ---------- Post added 22-08-12 at 20:32 ---------- less attention = stock looking? more attention = stand out from croud? just wondering for my build

as long as u got disc front n rear u should b ok. u will also need v8 or turbo master cylinder n booster. no holes intercooler kit is way to go. GK tech is a brand look on ebay. n i agree with th others try keep it all hidden or keep it stock. once u get it passed then u can change it..
