Moving the radiator up and vertical opens up a ton of room and options.

Agree... A little work, but very much worth it.

if i stand up the rad i do not need to relocate the battery or the fuse box to fit the twins ?

If you had vbands on the manifolds could you flip them upside down?

See why we stand the radiator up now? No need to relocate the fuse blocks or batteries.

Those are pics of an old build. We were moving the battery to the trunk on that build. Plan was to use small mushroom type filters. The turbos are TO4E 58mm units.

Hood pins. With a white car they are not very noticable.

Here is a picture of my twin setup with truck manifolds. Although the radiator is not upright (factory size w/ factory fans) the crossbar has been cut and the radiator/fan setup was pushed forward. The battery and fuse box have also been relocated as you can see.
