06 is going to be fun with the Holset!

I am going with a home made log center mount.

I hope to fit the HY just as it comes no messing around, move the Turbo ahead so the stock exhaust elbow out the back fits nice with the car.



I think a center mount log may help spool but who knows its all about a nice fit. I plan to leave the compressor outlet pointing down and foward to the FMIC, maybe go under the sway bar mount to keep it open and clean looking.

Here i made up some flanges and few extras for a few friends. Now to get some 1 1/4 elbows get going



The front shot looks good, what ya think?



Here is the start of the FMIC i also plan to build a SS foward facing upper intake with 3" and 3.8 SC TB.(thanks Tom)

That turbo is huge; I love it. Whole engine bay looks real clean too. You're fabricating your own header? Sweet.

So far so good, nothing had to be cut or trimmed.

Well i made some brackets for the IC and it fits great.







Lots of room for air to hit the IC



bumper cover back on all fits nice



under bumper view not much to see, maybe i will paint the tanks blue for a non bling look
