But I'm thinking of doing a remote location install of a turbo. There should be plenty of room between the body and the skidplate for it once i take the cat out, and the snorkel enters the body almost ontop of where I'd want the turbo, so placing an air filter might be tricky;however, I really don't see any point in pipping the intake all the way from the snorkel to the stock airbox, then down to the turbo, then back up to the engine. If possible I also want to go without an intercooler and use a recirc valve instead of a bov.
sounds like you have a good plan. how much HP are you trying to make? that's the bottom line, not the PSI. now as for using a recirc valve instead of a bov is not neccesary as I can get you the big red Procharger bov fully inclosed so you can route it back into your intake charge pipe.
