Have you given any thought to a twin scroll setup since you're running a single turbo?

Not really I had a design worked out in my head and my friend Ameen did so too and we both agreed on this:

Could you take a downward angle shot so we can see how close the turbo is to the timing cover? Belt replacements don't look too bad. How about the turbo water lines. Is the passenger side support rod gonna impede the install of the water line at all???

Here is what I have as far as downward pics, I can get better ones if you would like:

The whole kit was designed with belt and accessory replacement in mind thus the use of the v-band flanges. Not only are they baller as hell, lol, I wont have to buy new gaskets everytime I need to remove the turbo setup for access.

The water lines are all going to have to be re-routed, the headers them selves run clearance issues. My plan is to re-route them using stainless steel braided hose and AN fittings. I guess its the price to play.

Still don't like the H bracket. Seems kinda cheesy with all of the badass custom stuff you're doing.

Assuming the wastegate will be an open dump design. Couldn't imagine all the plumbing involved in possibly returning to the exhaust from that side of the motor.

What if you did an angulated radiator mount? Does the front end of the S14 allow room for that??? Then we would have to allow room for FMIC as well...running out of space, but then again I am not that familiar with the S14 up front.

What are your thoughts? plans?

I was thinking that was just for the fabrication (to hold the flange in place). My guess is that will change.

The H bracket you really dont see once the turbo is in there. It will stay, it serves a purpose and that is to support the turbo which isnt light.

Waste gate will not be ran open, it will be re circulated into the downpipe. I have an idea all mapped out in my head. Angulated radiator mount is indeed my plan. As long as I can get the top portion to tuck under my core support I will have plenty of room for the radiator and AC condensor. FMIC will go under the bumper reinforcement so there is plenty of room for that.
