Default Callaway sledgehammer turbo setup

Has anyone tried to copy the Sledge Hammer turbo set up? Or at least the turbo placement?

there is a ton of information for this if you search for the callaway turbo kit on the FI forum. This particular forum doesn't seem to be visited as often as some of the others, so response is relatively slow here.

I also know that a few of the forum members here (Briancunningham comes to mind) that has a library of pictures of this AND several other turbo kits that have been installed in C4's. In fact, I do believe that particular thread was VERY recently discussed.

Brian did post up in my last thread about turboing next year, so it should only be a couple posts down.

This guy has a good collection of the B2K, and some views that are hard to find elsewhere: http://www.twinturboluigi.com/

Here's the Callaway owners group pictures of the Sledghammer:

There's a whole section they cutout and rewelded to do that.

One of the reasons they never offered a kit.

The B2k went thru the frame for the cool side intake also.

Which reminds me that the twin turbo ZR1 had both cool pipes for intake and boost side go through the front cross memeber as well.

I believe all the cars with front mount intercoolers did. The Sledge might be the exception.
