Short Ram INtake and Turbo

Iam not mechanically inclined like some of yourselves but I just installed the K and N typhoon kit on ym balt, Now in the future If I put a Turbo In the Car will I have to remove it and If i put a superhcarger in does the short ram just switch sides?

do some research and then you wouldn't have to be asking all the questions. Its the easiest way to find out. Especially since questions like this has been discussed on the forum before. just use the search bar up top.

Word with Kano, I hate to be an elder who yells search but it would be ore helpful than asking since this has all been reviewed.

The 2.4 manifold works wonders on our cars. Header and exhaust system if you want, but again, only if you're keeping it na. Turbo is going to just about require a 3" exhaust all the way though, so keep that in mind. You can get away with a 75 shot wt kit, GM racing books even say so, but that's the most you can do safely. 100 shot tend to break things.

well i dont know how the k&n routes, but with my injen cai, i will use the upper part of my intake for cold side when i turbo it. my friend is offering to sell me his supercharger when he turbos the redline, but i think id rather turbo mine.

i know some people like to run the hot side on the passenger side, but id rather run it over the trans, and have the cold side right where the stock intake went through. plus, with my injen intake, i have a nice elbow at the throttle body and maf plate already in place. so i really didnt waste much money. just lost in the lower piece, which i may be able to salvage for the intake on the turbo.
