When I look at the supras motors they have huge intakes.. much bigger than what we can put in the conventional way but the only other method is what Protomotive uses in which the put the tubing into the fenders? What do you think?

That was one of the main reasons I didn't relo to CA last year....I realized I couldn't have legally registered any of my cars and if I ever got pulled over, I heard they probably would have been towed on the spot

I got my car state inspected the other day and she passed with flying colors.

I was wondeing if that limited space can flow enough volume to feed 800, 900 or 1000 hp motors? And if not, at what hp level should you change to say the Protomotive system of flowing air via the fenders into turbos. I know you have worked extensively with EVOMs and I am just curious.

Where can I find a photo of this set up? Changes in the intake pipes?

BTW I'd be down to do some road course comparos.
. All that HP wont help you much when it comes time to turn. 700 hp is a hinderance because you cant put the power down and would get owned at most tracks by stock GT3's especially for you guys that went to RWD.
