Default Single turbo w/AC

How many of you have done it? Where have you located the turbo and run your exhaust pipes? Is the only way to retain AC with a single turbo to relocate the alternator?

I've done it with my budget set-up... I have a k-member on the way so I can run all my pipes over the k-member and eliminate any ground clearance problems.

I will have to take some more pics but the passenger side goes under the tranny and up inbetween the motor mount (under it) and the engine before it Y's into the driver side which is coming off of the passenger side manifold I have pointing forward.
I wish I had a tubular k-member when I made the kit.... as it opens up a ton of room. I am going to remake the kit and either put the turbo up where the battery is or at least re-route the crossover and DP.
There are a few others on here who already have or are in the process of making their own kits as well.... search through the FI section and you will find some good pics of their set-ups.
