radiator used is the same one as everyone elses in this thread, the cheap griffen radiator used and purchased from summit racing.
the turbo is an MPT70 which shares the same physical dimensions as any t3t4S housing * 4 inch inlet 2.5 outlet)
it is butted up to the fans and probably 1/2 inch away from the crank pully with a heim joint braced up to it.

Sideways, Great job on the fab work.. You have inspired me to tackle this project myself. I have access to a welder but i dont know how id make the radiator support. Also,did you do anything with the bottom support for the radiator? This all looks fairly easy with a decent amount of mechanical know how.

Dont forget broke ef. I would not of done this turbo build if it wasn't for him talking me into it. I was going to do big cam with heads, and maybe spray... He changed my mind, and im happy he did, and he has been there every day i have worked on the car, even though his gf may have wanted to kill him.(thanks erica for letting me steal your bf)
Anyways. This is the best pic of the lower brackets that we did. More or less its just a 90 bolted to lower radiator support with boat weather stripping on them. Foam stuff is not on in the picture, but it will stop the lower part of the radiator from coming towards the motor at all.
Let me know if you got any other questions.
