Message: [QUOTE="Vader's Fury, post: 355055, member: 473"] Ok guys...... I got a lil bit of time to mess around with the turbo night before last and got a few things figured out. Sorry it took me so long to get it all posted up, but I have been extremely busy trying to get all my work done before I leave for cali tonight. To give you an idea how busy, I took these pics at around 1 am LOL As for the up-pipe flange issue, how about this..... [ATTACH=full]88317[/ATTACH] I used a piece of 3/4 flat stock and it gave me the clearance I needed to set the turbo farther forward. This helps in 2 aspects. One it allows me to be able to slide the turbo forward and align the rear mounting hole over the plate. This is necessary as the turbo only has 3 mounting holes in the pedistal and this is the only one located in the rear of the turbo. The second reason is now that I have slid the turbo forward, it allowed me to rotate the turbo so the inlet is more towards the driver side then straight forward. This helped in a few different ways. It will make it easier to get an intake piped in for the turbo and also gave me a better idea how I will have to set up my intake y to feed the intake plenums. [ATTACH=full]88318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88319[/ATTACH] As you can see in the below picture, I dont believe I will have to modify the intake plenums but will not know for sure till I get a lil more fab time in. THIS IS JUST AND EXAMPLE!! [ATTACH=full]88320[/ATTACH] And the last thing to address is the up-pipes and exhaust. By rotating the turbo it orients the exhaust outlet more towards the passenger side therefore making fitting a down pipe in easier (at least I hope it will LOL) As you can see in the picture below it also will give you an idea how the up-pipes will be fabbed up. Picture like a 6.0 but turned the other direction. [ATTACH=full]88321[/ATTACH] It also uncovered the oil supply port that is for the turbo. This should allow me to set the oil feed and return up similar to that of a t-4 setup that we already use. That will be all the visuals I will be able to provide for the next week or so. I will not have any more hands on time with this until the 4th of July at the earliest. Interested in hearing everyones opinions..... [/QUOTE]
