Nice work! I've thought about mounting turbo(s) down low like that before. There use to be a vendor on here Modular Turbo that made a low mount twin kit similar to this.

This is one awesome unique build!! 10.4@131 is rocking too, congrats! What trans you running? How does the ac and stock cooling system work? I know I always had probs keeping mine cool without ac. As said before, let me know if you decide to build these.

its the stock 4l60e that I built with a tci converter, the A/C and cooling system works great. I made the kit so I could retain the stock radiator and cooling fans. Was in town last week when it was 89 degrees I was cool and so was the cooling system.

Great looking kit... I'd grab one of those filter sock deals with the filter down there in the dirt. These are super cheap and work well. Have them on my fender well turbo kit and the filters look great. Filter socks look horrible. Doesn't seem to be limiting power any.

Is that the 65mm exh wheel version of that turbo? What did you have the boost level at?

I hear you about the filter, it honestly is tucked up higher then it looks and it's been in the rain like 3 times since I've owned it since 2004 lol...yes it is the 65mm I had this turbo for mock up and decided to run it. I can not remember the boost level I think it was 17 or 18

no idea I guess it depends on what material you want and if you want to use stock k-member, I made the accessory relocation bracket, a lot of factors
