What is needed to add an SVO IC to a regular turbo GT?
IC
IC hoses
IC brackets, maybe
Turbo outlet pipe?
?

How are you planning to get air circulation through the IC in the stock SVO location?
The SVO has a “functional” hood scoop.
Any reason why you would go the SVO route vs a front mount?

I know the air flow will be limited but it does have a reverse hood scoop. I have a spare svo ic. I really don’t want the expense of a front mount ic. It seems like a simple upgrade unless it involves the turbo housing.

You would need a different turbo housing.

That’s what I was afraid of. In light of that, I see why a front mount ic is worth considering. I wanted to stay away from major mods.
