Check out this build. What do you guys think about the intake port on the side of the headlight like this? I think it's SWEET. Not sure it could be pulled off on the Riv though.

What's your budget and what do you think your goals are? What's the full current condition of your car?

Looks like a good build, but intake is tacky. Here's a case where simpler isn't better. FWI does the same thing and isn't visible.

THAT'S how you do it. Stock engine, mostly stock exhaust, 1.9 rockers, then twincharge it to run 12s. I like his style. Complex instsllation, simple idea.

You don't see this configuration very often. There's a lot of debate on whether or not the turbo intake should run into the blower or if it should integrate into the intake manifold after the blower.

Some say the supercharger becomes a restriction others say it does not. Some people say the dual set up is completely inefficient (because of heat output) compared to either just a blower or just a turbo. But then you see people who actually do it and they get great results.

I think it really comes down to how you transition between the supercharger and turbo in making boost. From what I've read, you want a smooth transition. instead of the supercharger disengaging and then then turbo starting to spool. You want the spool to start right when the supercharger is peaking and then transition over.

From what i've seen, everyone whos done this to the 3800 runs the turbo right through the blower with no problem.

Can't wait to see the first twincharged Riv!
