You didnt have to move the battery, there is plenty of room in the engine for a turbo.

I suggest removing the big plastic crash bar in front of the intercooler too. That will make your IC waaaaaaay more efficient and give you a much cooler incoming air temp.

What are you doing for fuel mods?

Looks good though

More pics dangit!

for the fuel 38lbs injectors,fuel pump,and then programming it with efi live....
the headers will be ceramic coated and the pipes will be painted to match the car
we just have a little bit left like piping to the intercooler and then the exhaust pipes plus a few other little things

Just wondering why you welded it to the K-member? I know on my car it has several scrapes on it from the car being so low, there is no way I would want to run my exhaust under it...

A tubular K-member would have freed up a ton of room for you-

I have seen dented k members, so that pipe isn't thick enough to not dent unless it's solid

Why didn't you just eliminate the a/c pump? That would have given you the room you need to run the pipe thru there and it would never have to be a concern-

I'm with Archmedes on that pipe issue. My car isn't lowered at all and I'm having problems tearing up my exaust during "high performance" driving excursions... and even in parking lots with high speed bumps. lol I'll stay tuned to see what happens with this.
