I believe the WG placement is fine. Everybody tries to make the placement of the WG a big hype. Keep in mind. Even with a 45 degree angle to help the flow to get to the WG, the exhaust gases still has to make a 90 degree through the WG to out of the WG . 66mm WG you be big enough that flow wont be a problem. Thats my .2 cents

From the looks of it you will probably have to bring that crossover in towards the motor a bit. Like someone else said, I don't see the turbo clearing even with a standup radiator and fans.

Tom,

I have had this for years sitting around... I had no clue Tuna originally built it for you. I have been out of the drag scene since I moved to Florida in '03 and just recently decided to start building a track car. I am grabbing lunch with Tuna tomorrow to catch up on old times while I am in town.

Last time I was really talking to the Detroit area guys is when you borrowed my fender for the Red Rocket - years ago. Now I see you have had a few amazing projects since. I know you have quite a lot of turbo experience and any input you have would be greatly appreciated.

Agree, not a big deal. Looks like I am about 3" too long.
