Wow nice car and great build so far! what are your plans for it? daily driver? drag race,road race? I hope it is all of the above! I also wish that more companies made symmetrical turbos it looks so much better with twins! keep up the great work and thanks for sharing with us!

The bracket is an aeroflow billet low mount(highly modified)
The eccentric idler was made by myself out of 63mm 6061 bar stock
I had to weld up half of one of the slots in the front and machine it flat to tap it for the idler. Then remove the original idler mount on the top, re-polish the whole thing but I think it came out ok

I too wish more companies made symmetrical turbo's! NRE made me wait 11 months after I paid for the turbo's! I rang them nearly every week and all I got was excuse after excuse
I was going to purchase 10 sets of their 76mm twins for customer cars but after my first experience with them, I just went back to buying Turbonetics
