well i am piecing together a turbo setup for my '94 hatch Si. i am going to make this look as stock as possible to keep people guessing. so far plans are a T3 turbo, i want to take a stock air box and gut it down to just the shell and have it sit over the intake pipe. the charge pipes and intercooler will be painted black with high heat paint. i am thinking of putting in grill mesh to hide the pipes and cooler (thought about even painting teeth on the mesh in the middle opening on my bumper lol) i am also going to take an stock exhaust manifold heat shield and modify it to hide the turbo it self.
couple questions though.
1) can i paint the intake side of the turbo with high heat black paint as well to hide it better?
2) i want to mount the BOV in the fake air box so it is not visible. could i use a 95-99 Eclipse Talon BOV?
3) am i right in thinking i will need air box with a larger intake tube such a b18c5 to fit over the intake charge pipe?
i may come up with more questions later, i'm a newb to turbos
