Looks like a great project.. looks like a very clean turbo setup.

I see you your also using a Viper T56. I'll got one in my chevelle and the shifter location is good. I am using a Bench seat and it clears. Uesd a Husrt shifter for the 03-04 Mustang/corbra #351-0015 with a 5380015 stick.

Question, will those Turbo's fit once you get the fenders on and how about the heat that will be generated and kept in the confined area ?..

Keep posting your progress and pictures..

Correct me if im wrong, but is that Por15, then covered by the Por15 primer on the frame?

I restored a firewall last year and used a similiar process, and that blue is really close to the por15 primer.

Thanks! The turbos should fit with the fenders. I might have to cut a little off the inner stucture. The turbos fit pretty low. I had to cut a opening in the inner fender wells (batt. area) to give more room. It will also help get rid of some heat, and some cooler air for the inlet.(see pic) The system will be ceramic coated, and I will probally have to sheild the back of the headlight area with something.



Thanks for the info on the shifter! How do you like the trans and shifter? How does it shift? Any problems missing shifts? I will be running a stock consol with buckets.
