    twin turbo, that would be a serious downgrade for sure.

    The headlight is a gutted black housing headlight, then i took the skil saw to it.

    sweet. does the open housing not cause any issues, as in, does it not catch air?
    are you planning on making it where there is a smooth bend to close the hole allowing a straight shot to the turbo?

    i think you are over analyzing a simple thing, It will not cause any slow down or drag and it allows plenty of outside air to get to the turbo. We will eventually make a box that will integrate into the light and attach to the turbo but thats just added form and adds little to the function.

    i wasn't sure if it would or not. cause it kinda is a hole in the front of your car. didn't know if it would cause drag or not, and didn't think it would hurt to ask. i know the outside air will be able to reach it without a problem, when running the turbo is probably pulling air thru.
    looks good though.
