I have no problem relocating/deleting some pieces in the engine bay. I am definitely getting rid of AC and Heat thouigh. AC because it won't fit with the turbos and Heat because I never use it! I want to relocate the battery anyway... I want to give my engine compartment some room if possible if I had to do any kind of maint. to it
they are 70mm wheels, ive never driven a twin 61mm car, but Jose at forced inductions says the t-70's spool just slightly later than the 61's since they are still small frame turbos, but the added power potential is worth that extra lag. I see boost as early as 3200ish rpm depending on load, not full boost, but i kinda like the fact it doesnt hit all at once with full boost, helps hold traction (haha only helps, its pretty wild driving this thing) dyno this weekend or next...and yeah, they way mine is, no way is there room for AC, heat yes, but i dont have it hooked up.

I never noticed the differnence untill now that the compressor housings on the GT series are much bigger than the street heat. Is it possible to upgrade to the GT (SH60-1 to a GT61)? same bearing housing?
