That si goin on a f-body? how the hell is taht gonan fit. I have the phamspeed kit with a t76 and there is about a halfinch between the turbo and thecranks and the turbo actually touched teh radiator. So to see yours about a foot awaay fromteh engine has me perplexed. I know ya said that you are moving the radiator but from what i see that turbo is gonna sit where the FMIC usually is. I dunno maybe there is somethign that i am missing but that looks WAYYYY off. GL

My turbo is going in the reverse of yours. The phamspeed kits put the flange near the crank with the rest of the turbo facing forwards about 8 inches. Mine has the flange as the farthest point out and the turbo facing inwards towards the motor 8 inches.

I am also relocating the radiator forwards a good 4".

Here this should help you guys visualize it. Remember there is no water pump or balancer on yet so the amount of space is deceiving...

The truck manifolds will never work. You got a long way to go but it will be worth it in the end. Keep up the good work.

Just for everyones info. I used a PA K-member and got a 5" downpipe thru it. With a custom motor mount I made.

Cool! BUT man resting the GT42 on the pipes with just tack welds holding stuff together........BRASS BALLZ

But then again I my tack welds suck and I don't trust em at all.

The first pics were a lil deceptive, but now its all coming together, looks like it'll have a good 2.5 inches in front of the crank pulley and with the radiator sitting further forward I can see all of it clearing
hmmm wonder if I can use a truck manifold for my passenger side

You should see how fast a white boy can run when his turbo is sitting on tack welds!
I was to the camera and back in under 10 seconds!
