I am working on a setup like that except hopefully the cooling system will all be stock. Stock alternator location, stock cooling system, front sway bar stays... Check out my build thread for more details if you want. Haven't installed everything yet so not sure what all is actually going to work out and what won't.

Air filter. Depending on what power level you want to achieve, you may or may not be able to put a decent flowing filter on there without some kind of up pipe.

Ahh, didn't know you wanted to do away with the a/c. My kit was built with the intent of retaining the a/c without relocating the alternator. I would still put a blanket around the turbo if you want it that close to the radiator.

Let me know if you want pics.

88mm t4 with 4" downpipe which still needs to be routed through bmr tubular k-member. I'm using a pusher and puller fan combo and the A/c is removed temporarily untill I can relocate condenser.
