Oh yeah, I intend to keep it in sleeper mode. The suspension's gonna get a 1" drop for a lil better handling, and that along w/the 17" aluminum wheels and tires are about all that won't look stock.

There's a factory FMIC from a Volvo diesel truck engine I'm gonna try to use (if it will stand up to the boost I wanna run) that would even negate the use of the standard blingalicious aluminum front mounts most turbo rides sport up front that make 'em a dead give away as to what's under the hood.

This one is a thin dual core that's the size of a standard radiator. Having studied the concept a bit it actually would seem to be a better design due to more surface area and with its thinner core it should more effectively extract the heat from the intake charge quite well, and ... it has the 3" snouts in exactly the position I want.

I'm gonna try out a mister nozzle spray bar design I drew up some years back to also make the IC more efficient. I have a water injection set up I built for my old NA Talon that will work perfectly for the pump system for it and the 60psi it puts out should work great with the wide spray pattern nozzles I wanna use. I never have understood why such systems aren't used more on boosted engines.

It's also NOT gonna be loud! Loud cars are bona fide cop magnets and make listenin to my fave tunes a drag too. 'Sides a car dudn have to have a load assed exhaust to perform well anyway. It has a place underneath for a factory resonator that will work well to house a small primary 3" muffler and then still leave room for another larger one at the stock location at the rear too.

The Lasers were the mousiest lookin of all the DSMs, no fancy front air dams or body cladding at all, which also saves about 150lbs too and this one originally bein a base model it's the lightest of all the Lasers they built.

Maybe I'll even chunk the old factory 1.8L engine in the rear for better traction clown
