HP turbo kit
I'm planning on fabbing my own twin kit for my 99 frc.... I like the hidden in the fender turbos. I've only seen the pics on HP's website of their kit, does anyone have any pics of their own car with this kit or a similar setup? Just looking for some refrence and some ideas. THanks

I don't believe that is the correct member name, as it won't let me send him a PM. Do you know where I can find the link to his site? thanks

i will be too poor to buy one but i can dream to be honest, I don't see how some of these companies charge so much for the kits. I haven't been too impressed with any of the ones I've seen, quality and setup wise. I like the placement of the HP kit, thats why I'm getting an idea of the turbo placement in the fender. I'm planning on building this for under 3k. (not including tuning and fuel) but a set of 42's, inline pump and efi live will take care of that. Masterpower 57s are 599 from forcedinductions.com It really looks too easy to fab up. The hardest part is the tube that goes over the wheel but i've already got some ideas on making my own oval tube out of alum. I'm planning on building a kit for my buddies 350z at the same time, so it looks like im going to buying a lot of mandrel bends in bulk

I don't even live in USA.
My kit is a later version of the kit they have, with different WG-locations and different fendertubes.
