Default Post your pics--FM turbo location

I would like to see different locations people are mounting their turbos. May be changing the system around later in the season and looking for the best route.
If you dont have pictures, please explain well enough that I know right where it is.
Thanks

Nasty and Smokinhawk I like how you guys cut away the Front Beam support on your cars to move the radiator Forward for more Room.
Could you guys give me some TIPS on how you guys did it?? How is driving after cutting it, can you tell if there is a difference???

I am good friends with a Welder and he could help me out but I just need a little direction first.

BADASS SETUPS fellows.

I would like to know what all is needed to place the turbo directly infront of the engine like most of yours are. Would it be easier to re-locate the battery and place it there like kyles? Only going to be a t-76. Any chance in keeping the ac with either of those locations?
Keep the pics comming..im enjoying this
