Default Twin turbo front mounts

So the turbo kit I have front mounts the turbos, cool and all but if I want to run a filter on the turbos which I kinda do..I have to relocate my battery for the driver side one. I am just not sure where in the flip I should put it..cant put it in my trunk because my subs and amp are back there unless I put it in like the side well thing, id honestly like to put it in the spare tire well but id have to get the lithium ion battery thing. Anyone have pictures of where theres is relocated to with a twin front mount kit?

dont take this the wrong way....get rid of the subs and amp lol

anyway, alot of guys relocate the battery to the spare tire area.

when you start getting into forward facing turbo setups your going to have to start sacrificing things....also wont you have to relocate your fuse box too?

No, the huron kit I have retains most things besides AC, infact it would retain the battery where it is but I want filters on them because idk im paranoid. And no offense taken but im no taking out my subs and amp considering the stock ones are blown and I had these on hand to replace them so they are not going anywhere.

I had mine in the spare tire well area and I had a regular battery. I think this is the one I had, could possibly look for pics;

Sure, but having subs and amp that take up trunk space is unless you're 17. I cringe every time I see one of the trunk wells filled up with subs. We all have opinions.

Isn't mounting it off to the side the norm?

k well now you are being offensive so if you could kindly keep that kind of **** to yourself be awesome. Dont like subs? fine point made. Otherwise provide constructive critisim instead of being a douche. Im 24 and enjoy my sound system, and they are on the stupid hatch thing above my trunk, my amp is in my trunk hence not wanting to put the battery there.

I ran dual 15's in a fiberglass box in my 11 second cam/converter car and enjoyed it. Having subs doesn mean you're rattling cars 2 blocks over. I always ran sound quality systems and plan to put a sub in my 73 Camaro. I'm 35...

Going to fab a custom box for the 73? if so should post pics be dope to see. otherwise ill probably buy that BMR relocation thing, my sound system so far has cost me 2.5k...going to be 3.1k for the last two speakers I need when I blow the old monsoon ones.

So I've decided to post in a thread with a bunch of narrow thinking dumbasses. Unless your daily driver is a Honda 50, you DO have room for an engine and a nice stereo. Look into modern lithium batteries. They can be ordered in configurations that do NOT have to be shaped like a regular "cube" shaped car battery. They can fit almost anywhere. You could even use dead space that would normally house sound deadening insulation, and the battery would serve dual purpose. As for the air filters, I would not run without them. Do whatever it takes to keep from sandblasting your engine internals.

I had to un-pile a bunch of **** off my hatch to get this picture. When the car gets put away for the year it often ends up as a storage rack.

In my opinion stick with what you've got.
I think relocating the battery is necessary, both for bay appearance and weight. You'll need that 100lb offset if you go with the twins.. (assuming you use a regular battery)
I just used an Afco style battery mount in the spare tire well, modified it to fit a Taylor battery box so that the car would actually tech, but if that's no issue don't worry about the box. It made it a pain in the ***, but I'll never have to do it again, which is key. Best of luck figuring it out!

that's the spare tire well correct? did you just remove that plastic piece for good or did you make holes for those studs to protrude out of because I believe those studs are to high are they not?

If you're wondering what's hitting the switch-I didn't see my antenna laying there before I reached in and snapped the pic
