The radiator is just resting in place. It is back and over farther to the driver side. The outlet and inlet nipples are also being moved over to the driver side. I am not sure if I need to make an inlet pipe from the hole in the bumper to the turbo inlet or just leave it as is.

Thanks!

Nope. I will have to put some heat shielding on the underside of the hood over the exhaust side of the turbo though.
