Its the TTI 76MM kit. The same set up as ryank just without the AFR heads. The heads are in the near future though.

I'm finishing up my GT42 front mount , I'll send you some pics in a day or 2 . I did relocate the battery , just to un-clutter things and offset all this weight I'vee added to the front . I also had to swing the bottom of the radiator forward . And of course , no AC .

Its pretty simple actually!! You'll have to get creative on the header design to keep the a/c but here is what mine looked like before and after I put the radiator in.

So with the new radiator and a little bit of cutting you can put your turbo infront of the motor? is there a certian line you guys are cutting on or how does that go?

I'm still on the stock radiator, didn't cut up my radiator support, but its on my list of things to F@#k with. I really want to relocate the radiator to add some more room for future projects.

Nah can't even spool this biotch up here Might go with two "smaller units" or just place the turbo up higher.

Still chasing small tranny issues right now so money is going to that wound right now.

3.23's are here now tho...those should help load this GT42.

I thought about upgrading to a T76 for my 346 but decided to keep the T70 hybrid 66mm for the time being. I dont want to deal with all the lag issues of a bigger turbo. I was thinking of putting a 82mm turbo on the car. As for a tranny I am doing a FMVB 4L80E. I dont wan to deal with blowing 4l60E's eigther.

Mine's a bit unorthodox, but it works. No overheating problems. I originally built it as a rear mount, but later moved it up front.
