    Found a turbo G4 attrage/sedan

    Found this when I was on facebook.
    No details. I asked if there was any, haven't had a reply.
    To me looks like it is pretty sloppy when it was turbocharged.
    But hey, I am still very interested in it.

    That looks like a big turbocharger for a 1.2 liter engine.

    Agreed. Definitely looks hap-hazard but functional? ��

    Good question. Not quite sure, I could be completely wrong. With the space available I personally would like things be tucked away more? Possibly more OEM looking if that makes sense. I've seen add on turbos look like they came OEM, tubes not all over the place, tied down, etc. That by no means is clean looking, but then, it doesn't have to be too be functional ��

    While placed a bit oddly, its the first turbocharged Mirage we've seen. Kudos to the guy!

    I'll agree with the others that it does look a bit on the large size for a 1.2L.

    Not really oddly placed. Just a high mount turbo. Too much fabrication would be needed to place it in between the engine and firewall. Also I would guess piping would be a pain to get down there as well.
    I have seen around 5 turbo mirages now. This is by far the most detailed one I have seen.

    Looks like a good turbo placement to me; high, not crammed plenty of room for air and oil plumbing.

    More interested in what they are doing for ecu tuning, and fuel managment... everything else is pretty much universal. You don't even need a custom manifold to feed a turbo if you fab an up pipe instead
