Default Mounting big Turbos
Was wondering how and where you guys are hanging these things. I'm determined to keep my LT1 Camaro front end and not switch to an LS1 style lol. Anyone got any pics of big singles? Something like a 94-114. These bitches are HEAVY!

guys do you all think it's worth while to put the turbo in the nose? That is like 90 pounds of weight right on the nose.
