Default Speedcraft turbo question

I am planning on getting an Injen CAI, spoon headers and spoon exhaust. If I buy a speedcraft turbo in the future would it be possible to keep my mods and just add the turbo? thanks

no.

the intake will be removed to work with the intake for the turbo. the turbo itself is a header that has the turbine connected to it. and spoon exhaust? you mean cat back? is that the single outlet? not sure about a spoon cat back system. but otherwise, the rest of the stuff will not work with a turbo so you will be just throwing your money away. just get the turbo if that is what you plan on doing in the future.

So far the turbos that have been produced have also had a dual 3" exhaust fabricated for them. I believe the Spoon Exhaust (and every other non custom s2k exhaust) is 2.5 inch, which would rob alot of power....

Keep in mind that the Speedcraft set up uses a 3" downpipe which is, in essence, the start of your exhaust. If you use another exhaust (another= anything not 3") then you'll be creating a bottleneck where the 3" downpipe meets your more restrictive (prob. 2.5" or 2 and 5/8") exhaust.

None of the aftermarket exhausts (that I know of) are 3". You would very probably loose power on a NA S2000 with a 3" exhaust.

Wouldn't a 3" exhaust be very loud? Just curious.
