Look really nice. How much room do you have between the intercooler and radiator. I wanted to mount a pusher fan in front of the radiator

Not enough to mount my trans cooler, just over an inch. If you have pusher fans you could set the radiator further back.

Cool build for sure....you're right about the "dumpster sized turbo"...
I had a BW S475 in a 69 4dr Imp and still had moderate fitment issues
but ultimately mounted it in the same spot where yours is.....I ran 5" off the turbo and 90'd it towards the firewall before knocking it down to 4" down and straight out the back but your engine bay looks too tight for that big stuff.......GLW the rest of the build !!!!!

What did you use to cut the hole for the turbo piping to go throught the fender area?

Thanks, now it's down to the details. I still have to finish most of the wiring, and do body work and paint. I am hoping to have it on the Dyno by May and at the track by August

*UPDATE*
The shell is in the body shop getting body work and paint! I was bored so I did this in the garage, lol. A few things didn't work that great when dynoing and at the track. The car ran two passes at the end of the season last year with a best of 10.01@146 1.8 60ft. The 40mm TurboSmart waste gates were too small and the location didn't work the lowest boost it would run was 12-13psi. So I ordered two precision 46mm and relocated them As you can see in the picture the passengers side. Also the champion radiator was to small so I custom made a new one that is twice as big and I went with bigger fans. Other than that the car is awesome and I can't wait to get it back from the body shop.
