We have the bolt together in our shop car, seems to work great, but $2100 is steep.

if you dont have the PS pulley for the belt to wrap around that side how is it (the belt) going to stay on? unless you move the tensioner to that side. trust me its easier to mount it on that side if you dont have PS or a pulley there.

John, silly question here... but when you removed the power steering...did you change to a manual rack, or leave as is since you shant be turning much in the 1320?
Looks great,,,speed inc does it again.
What size is the exducer on that turbo?
