Sweet pics guys! So it appears that modification of the radiator support is necessary when fitting a GT42 up front?

kinda makes me happy in the pants a little. How hard is it to move up when you already have a T4 flange with the T88 in the car to the T6?

Nah, just 74mm inlet 42R's. But, i think they're gonna go back for an upgrade to 80's if I can keep the ball bearing center.

My chassis/motor plans keep changing as time goes on, so who knows

nope, it'll fit without reworking the radiator support.

Have a few pics posted in the truck manifold turbo set up sticky up at the top of the page.

Good deal Harlan !

frcefed98 - our single is located slightly to the drivers side as we're allowing for enough room for an 82-88mm turbo.

Can't wait to see some pics of your crossover/dp. Might have to drop some coin on those parts so I don't have to redo all my stuff again.
