Ok guys I think I have got it! I remember seeing a GTO with a pic of it on a hoist, anyway it got me thinking because the turbo was mounted wait for it.........WHERE THE REAR MUFFLER SHOULD HAVE BEEN! Anyway I got up at 3am this morning and cruised around the net. I ended up at
www.ststurbo.com
and started to read about this guy who had a whole new theory on turbo dynamics. What really got my attention was the videos of cars scorching down the quarter mile in a rapid fashion with a near stock look under the hood! Now I dont have to remind you that realestate aint exactly at a premium on an RL or in a LEGEND for that matter when it comes to under the hood so I looked into it further and I think I may just have solved my problem! Anyway they have a kit for the 3.5 litre Toyota Tacoma pickup so armed with their step by step install guide on a GTO, I have the basis for my RL turbo.

do all manner of forged internals for the 3.2 and 3.5 motors so you lucky s in the good ol USA best screw together something asap! I will source some of the bits from there if I cant get em here in Australia but its all systems go! I already have a turbo T3/T4 hybrid sitting here that will suit the RL perfect, spool up around 2800-3000 rpm with a converter should be fine! Run 7 PSI on my stock motor untill I source the bits for my JDM motor on the floor here to give her stronger internals. My Type R teg turbo was so obvious but this will be so much more fun! Acura 3.5 RL AKA........Stealth Bomber! Guys check the site and see what you think!!!!!!!!!!!
