I am the guy fabricating the turbo kit. retains a/c, retains stock ground clearance, retains sway bar, everything above the k-member, uses quality parts, gravity drain, ect, ect. It can be installed easily and only relocates the alternator and fans.

Nice looking work Anthony. I have a similar setup sitting in the shop right now. Have you tested one out on a car yet? I have some concern's about heating up the A/C compressor during hard/spirrited runs on the street and track. Give me a ring tomarrow if you get time. I would like to bounce some idea's off ya if you dont mind.

You are correct. I dont see any problem with heating, if so you could use heat shielding to take care of the problem.

im building this car on a budget. anthony has been very helpful in every aspect... i originally wanted to do a h/c combo on the car. after we talked we came up with prices and the two werent that far off from each other.
so the turbo kit was the way i chose.
most people you deal with when building a car usually talk over people heads and just do it and not care if the customer understands or not.
although i graduated from wyotech and know a good deal about things there was questions i had concerning with this kit and prices. he broke everything down and showed me exactly what i was paying for and why he chose the parts he did for the kit.
cant wait to get this things done
