Definetly, an interesting spot to mount the turbo. What decision process went into choosing that location?

Couple things I wanted it in the bumper easy way to run the down pipe and with having the intercooler on the other front corner its going to keep the front end a little more balanced as far as weight goes plus with the frame rail right there it keeps the turbo mount simple.

Thanks and one reason was tO keep the weight some what even on each front corner of the car, dot make for a even strong and simple turbo mount, plus never seen it done before.
