Default Keeping A/C, Turbo Location

I am looking for locations that people put there turbos. I originally wanted to put it over where the battery is, but I don't want to run the downpipe back down and over to the drivers side. Is there anyone that has put it where the fuse boxes are and what did you do with the fuse boxes. When relocating the fuse boxes did it create any issues. I don't want it to be in the Middle like most do, she wants it kinda in your face when you open the hood. (She=Wife, if shes not happy no one is)

As always pictures say 1000 words.

Yeah! What he said. Josh is also doing a big single in house setup for me. Plus a lot more stuff. Josh is the man you want to get to do your setup, out of all that does this work his name will come up the most. Just because he's hard to beat. You might find some one the will it for less. But in this world you get what you pay for. Me I want the best of everything and I want it to look good and preform. When it comes to forced induction the easier it is for everything to flow the smoother it will be and faster. Josh@KYTurbo is the way to go, hands down.

thanks guys Josh has done work for me before..... He did a twin set-up for me and it was awesome.

But I am making this one now.... Nothing against Josh his setup got me more compliments and over 500k views on youtube.

As I stated I am looking for pics for turbos in the location of the battery or the fuse boxes, and Josh if you want to chime in and let me know what you think.

I am not opposed to putting a turbo k member in, I will do it with the stock one with solid motor mounts also. But the A/C is the problem. Am I going to have to go over the drivers side for the down pipe.

Here are couple threads I've been holding on to. Been Thinking of putting my turbo where battery is as well, however just dumping the DP in front of the motor seems the only viable option. These two builds are Not running A/C, but maybe you can get some ideas.....

This thread, turbo located in battery w/ dp dumped at motor...

Modular Turbo sells an Alternator and P/S relocation to give room in the OEM alternator location.

They are also currently working on an A/C system using that location along with the stock K-Member
