recently, met up with a group of TC car lovers for kopi. for myself, i know nuts about car, especially TC engine. however, i'm slowly understanding the concept of how a turbo is hook up to a engine.it is pretty simple and straight foward kinda mechanical installation. but the parameters consideration of "upgrading" of engine, will need more specific and detail technical knowledge before you do anything, or else, it will just blow up any engine.
from the above pic, it is a subaru STi engine, you can see the top mount intercooler, the blow off valve (i suppose?), the red colored pipe are the pre-cool air going into the engine, turbo however, is hidden here. right below, is the subaru boxer engine.
the above pic, sure does look compact and cramp for any modification work, however, i have see how "magic" work done on some of the TC car, simple amazing, or perhap, i'm still a newbie in this area..

just fyi those engines do not have blow off valves, they have bypass valves which recycle the air back into the intake.
