so i'm getting ready to get my turbokit done by this spring or during spring time. i was thinking of doing a sleeper turbokit with a t25, using a hidden stock eclipse intercooler. but i'm not sure if i should show the fact that i'm turbo or not show it and just smoke people and let them hear the turbo spool.
if this is confusing i'll make it easy.
show a fmic or have a hidden intercooler?
opinions???

Make sure you smoke them on the track and not on the street

if i was to go with a minor turbo kit like using a t25, i think i would go with using the SMIC from an ecplise, and a nice heat shield over the turbo to even make it look sleeper in the engine bay. and i would also make a sleeper design for the IC piping to make it look more like a CAI..
even though a FMIC screams, im boosted, it would be alot cooler for people not even to know your car is boosted by looking at it.
i keep pondering the idea of painting my FMIC flat black so its barely visible.
go with the sleeper look.

honestly, i think all turbo tibs should flaunt.
Because when you dont race on the streets you dont want people thinking its because you dont have the power, they see the FMIC, and know my car's business, if they cant see the FMIC, i just give a quick little gas and release to let the greddy BOV do the talking
the way i see it, the more people that know that people turbo tiburons, the less people that hate.

i have everything planned and have plenty of buddy's with stock dsm stuff. so i'm set on all dsm parts. i'm planning to put the smic underneath the battery tray and face it down.
