Thanks to Tuffregal83 and superSSlow for giving me the heads-up on this thread! I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. I already contacted Emmanuel about getting those trim pieces! 🙂

If it doesn't fit Hotairs, what is it supposed to Fit? That definitely won't fit an intercooled G-body.

It it specifically for a Buick turbo? What's it meant for?

Hmm...In terms of the turbo sizing (CFM) is probably close, but the plumbing and tubing probably needs to be re-worked. The turbo itself is usually the most expensive part, so if you've got a shop that's handy at tube fabrication, you could probably get it to work on a GN with some new plumbing.

so it wont serve a purpose for a ls 6.0

A turbo is a turbo, but the spool map or WETF it's called may be off....
