Solid-Tech's prototype turbo kit fitment finished
Using a mock manifold, downpipe, wastegate, and turbo. Fitment is done and prototype kit should be done in about a week. Pics and dyonos, should be posted in two weeks or so.
We are only about 2-3 weeks from production guys.

What kind of materials are you guys using. If you dont mind me asking, I'm curious to know if this is going to be a mild steel or stainless or cast, equal length, log style etc.

If it has an external wastegate, will it dump to the exhaust or will it dump straight out under the engine? SSR's Sentra seems to dump under the engine, and I think I'd rather have it dump into the exhaust system.

thanks for the great news....this is awesome...
im excited to see all of the demand for tC product availability and all these turbo kits already in development....the tC's future with product availability is looking great and im sure ALL the major manufactuer's will have great parts in a few months for the tC..
keep us posted on how those turbo kits are coming along....i will probably be looking to turbo my tC spring or summer of next year.....

Venting the wastegate back into the exhaust has NOTHING to do with the BOV.
I like to vent it, as it sounds cool and relieves backpressure in the downpipe, but tons of people don't like the noise and will want it back into the downpipe so their cars are quiet at full boost.

Screw dumping it into the exhaust - I want to vent that _____ to the atmosphere. Better response on the turbo, and there's something to be said for scaring the ____ outa the old people next to you.
If it's got an external, then dump that ****.

Since this is a oversquare motor we are expecting hp and tq numbers to be fairly close to each other.
The turbo will be sized bigger than most "kits". At the same time not too big to kill the low end grunt charasteristics of the motor, not to mention spool time.

Any t3/t4 style will bolt on. Ball bearing GT turbos will be an option. You can get anything from a 50 trim to a T61/p trim, or gt35r dual ball bearing.
I can't see a scion turbo kit EVER being carb legal since you have to remove the precat in order to do it.
Cordfield, if it dumps, it will have a tube extending down and back so no carbon/junk gets on the engine.
Just a note, we do a turbo kit for srt4 neone which is also a 2.4L dohc cam motor. So far we have customers making anywhere from 420-460fwhp on pump gas. We also do DSM kits and have customers making 500-520hp on pump gas. We've seen 700+ on race gas .
