The bracket consists of some stand-offs made from round tube, washers, old head bolts, and an ac tensioner from a porsche 944 I got on ebay for next to nothing.

It sits low and doesn't require you to hack up the back of the alternator unit. I also built the tensioner bracket out of some plate and stand-offs. Just measure carefully.

I love home built budget setups like this. That boost cutout looks really cool. I'd like to see your info on that once you get it up.

He hooked up a wastegate actuator ($10 from eBay..) to a manual cutout, and hooked the reference to manifold pressure. Really simple and inexpensive. It's like the Z06 exhaust except instead of vacuum, it uses boost.

Almost! I actually used a vacuum actuator so that as soon as the car sees atmosphere it opens up. Helps with spool.
