Well what do you know I do, but it's not going to be sold for a while, I've been running my V-mount for 3+years now, now everybody wants one thanks to Chuck. Fine by me!!! I'm just lazy about marketing it. Here is a pic of the older setup.

I am currently looking at Chuck's Monster V-mount setup. It looks good. I was looking at the regular V-mount he is selling, but it just doesn't look big enough. I want something that if I decide to run 22psi I don't have to worry about maxing out the IC. So the Monster is where I'm heading now. How does yours compare in size and capabilities of the Monster? I believe it was rated at 1250CFM @15psi and capable of supporting 800hp. Granted I'm not going for 800, more like 500 to 550 on high boost. If yours compares you might end up being my "one stop shopping place." And a package deal would probably be available to me as well!! Let me know something.

Check out the latest Sport Compact Car (December 2003 w/ Apexi drift FD on the cover). They're using a Vmount setup with an Apexi drag core. Very nice setup. Also interesting was the use of an Altezza radiator. Wonder if the IS300 radiator in the states is the same. Ducting is very nicely set up.
Sean, will the GT40R kit mount the turbo high like the GReddy T78 kit and the 35/40 kit you sell? Or will it be lower and further back like some of the HKS setups?

Okay, so I'm ready to get a new IC for the new setup.
What should I get? Thought it was settled with the Greddy 3-row? Guess not!

Bad Dog,
As great as the GReddy 3 row is, a V-mount seems to have all of those advantages without worrying about overheating. I know it's a little more expensive, but it seems to be a bulletproof setup. The one question I have about it is the whole vented hood issue. I will be running the Scoot Sports hood so I'm not worried about that part, but some guys that refuse to run a vented hood may not realize the full potential of the V-mount. That's what I've gathered from my reading and experiences. Hope that helps some.

It mounts low and very very tight I haven't had a chance to do the final fitment on the 40R kit yet but when I fitted the 35R kit it was tight enough that you will want a engine brace or a slight hammer, unfortunately that is the only way to get equal length and low mount that everybody asked for the good news is with the 35R you can at least fit the airpump on there but as far as plumbing goes that will probably be left up to you guys.
