It looks like we will be laying it down, but I will know more this week on that for sure. We have considered building a custom one and reloacting it, but we will see what space we have.

Stick it in the trunk! lol seriously thought, you can get a fair bit of airflow with some ducting.

Any time you need to weld a support brace off the compressor housing to secure the turbo properly... HARD ******* CORE!!!!!

this is not a "kit" this is a one off... just to prove a point....

Full radiator is going back in, car will still be a street car, just no ac and a manual rack.

It's a nice car, in my opinion it kinda seems like your ruined the Z06 though.

With a heat exchanger it is fine to just run... with no heat exchanger you will be limited.
