Putting the turbo to the passenger side of the radiator is how I'm building mine. Mines a GTO but pretty much the same in theory.

I'd agree. That background looks all too familiar.

Sure am getting bored with the whole Fireball saga......j/k dude, looks great! If you are considering a distributor setup, check out Kurt Urban's new desing. It allows you to retain stock water pump and wet sump if desired for about $1000 complete.

Fireball, have you been running a single BOV? I bought 2 but not sure I need both.
Just curious.

Got ya. Makes sense, I just remember seeing a couple cars with the probe's right in the heads.

But then again, I've seen a couple cars with annular fogger nozzles in the intake ports too, so go figure.

Got the mockup thumper yesterday and it fits like a glove...well sorta

Need to pull of the bumper cover and trim ~2" off the backside of the foglight opening so I can move the turbo further forward (so the turbine housing will clear the frame rail). I think I found a nice way to fab up the bumper/turbo support...will start on this tonight and all day tomorrow...
