Thanks Brian or Zangel

I keep telling Brian that he should sell those brackets. I think it really looks good in person and even better on the motor!
NA$TY-TA -- The only thing holding us up at this point is time. We have an entire list of things that will have to be done... the only thing is finding the time to do it. I think from this point on, you will be seeing more updates quickly
I am waiting on all of the fittings and line for the fuel (which I should see early next week). I put one of the Walbro fuel pumps in the car yesterday. I also purchased a set of Seimens 57lb HI-Z Injectors that will go in soon. I figure that will work for the time being (until we figure out which computer we are going to use). We have to finish getting the rear end in the car and then I can give the measurements to Chris@AP so he can make my driveshaft. The alternator needs to be rewired. We have to figure out the air filter arrangement and drill/tap the fitting into the oil pan for the turbo oil drain. Then we have to hack up the bumper support for the intercooler. Once all that is done we have to pull the heads and replace the lifters, change out the cam and install the hot-side piping. Then we can finish the oil feed/drain. Then we finish up the cold side piping and install all the vacuum lines. Get the boost controller in and the car tuned. Brian will be doing the tuning on the car since he has alot of experience with that.
I think that about wraps it up. After all that, the car will be sent off to Keith for the roll bar. Our goal is to have the car done by early May.

Well guys, I wouldn't mind building a couple, but I surely don't want to get in the business of making brackets 
If enough people wanted 'em, it might be worth it to get 'em drawn up in a CAD package and sent off to a mass production machine shop, but I wouldn't want to front that kinda cash without having people seriously in to buy. This one is only painted, but for true durability from nicks and such it really should be powder coated -- which would add to cost as well. Its really up to what each individual would want for his own car. The bracket itself isn't anything difficult to build for someone with regular metal working tools and a welder.

Thanks! I'll be needing to change my fuel pump out on my '98 soon, definitely going this route. Would have hated to cut into the wrong spot.
I thought that was your car but the interior was red.. I had forgotten your car was originally red. Ooops.

Question:
I had one heck of a time getting the belt off of my car with the relocation bracket provided by TTi. Does that tensioner pull back far enough for you to easily slip to belt off?

I've never seen a TTi bracket, so its tough to say. This bracket is using a factory tensioner, so that should give you an idea of how much travel it has. It sure seems like a lot of travel, but I don't have a power steering pump on the mockup motor so I can't fit a belt (yet).
