88mm turbo guys, mounting question this is a heavy bitch! lol
any pics of where you've mounted the unit other then where the battery goes?
i've already examined NastyTA's pics from his build.
i had planned on using ohioforced inductions kit, but am not sure if there's going to be enough room or support.

Hey there should be, Joel at forced inductions has stated that they fit a 88mm unit in his kit. In fact I ordered the kit based on that fact, although I had to get the S-85 as the 88's were back ordered. They are the same size though. Im about a week away from getting my kit so I havent installed it yet, but theres plenty of posts and pictures around that show where the Turbo mounts with his kit. If you would like I can post some for ya?

Okay here is some, also there is Someone that is in the process of installing his kit now and the thread is here https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/607038-ohio-forced-induction-hot-parts-installed.html
He is putting in the T76 but like I said the 88 will fit.

so i guess he is going to be running a super slim cooling fan unit? i have nothing but respect for you guys. Single T88 is so nasty you will be easily over 700rwhp with 10psi. Makes me want to pick up a FFHP single turbo kit for my 403.

BTDT, and have a totalled header to prove it. [And, this was not a BIG turbo.]

I guess I should have stated that I change stuff too much for it to matter, the motor and turbo are already in another car with a kit that is braced.
