no...? never heard of it...but im building 2 one off turbo kits now and my buddys doing another! im switching from a 76gts to twin mp70s and my buddys gettin a mp70 truck kit. but this time around im doing it all!!! lol I mocked up the k member, and with that sucker i can fit 2 4in dps. Its weird how much extra room you get with it.
have you got solid motormounts? i have a set and that would clear up some room
