Kinda at a stand still.

Trying to figure out if I will run the LP turbo charge pipe through the firewall or under the car???

If I run the charge pipe through the firewall I will have to relocate the battery from the stock location to the back of the trunk. I will then have two battery's in the trunk (deep cell is already there). The other thing I don't like is the charge pipe will run between the passenger seat and console. If it blows off a Silicone Coupler it would be ear deafening. Plus it modifies the fire wall and I don't like that. The advantage if ran inside is easier access to it and I don't have to worry about ground clearance.

If I run the charge pipe under the car it keeps the inside of the car looking stock. I don't have to worry about a charge pipe popping loose and breaking my ears. My battery stays in the stock location. Stock firewall stays intact.
But the access to the charge pipes becomes a pain in the ass and ground clearance could become an issue.

Both ways the engine bay will look pretty much stock only showing a small turbo attach to the engine.
