One reason why I was excited about the deal is
that the majority of the packaging was completed
YEARS AGO!

The pipes from the exhaust manifolds are easy to
recreate for the F-bodies. The plate that holds the turbo can easily be modified for a later type
(higher flow) turbo. The bonnet was designed to fit under the shaker. Swapping out the carb and stock type mainifold for a EFI Victor and a big
throttle body might actually gain shaker clearance
to the hood. The turbo discharge could be made
larger but a small increase in diameter on a big
discharge pipe makes a big difference in flow.
Attaching the single discharge pipe to new style
large tube exhaust parts would be easy. As far as
the inter-cooler goes, a Vortech style brick in
the right side area next to the radiator with plumbing from the turbo to it and then to the bonnet would be easy to create.

I see a major development here for the Pontiac Firebird guy with the efi Victor and potential
Turbo Force parts return.
