Fron mount Turbo set up?
Getting the manifolds to point forward is extremely hard to do. You have an A/C, thermostat and thermostat bypass tube to the heater core on the river side that get in the way and the power steering and alternator on the other side. I had to move my alternator to the driver side, lower my power steering down to the cross member, modify my driver side coolant tube and thermostat and eliminate the heater core tube in order to come up with a no compromise design. Of course mine is a bit over the top compared to what is possible.
Unlike you Quamen, I did my own kit to simplify things, you on the other hand went nuts..lol.
It seems that all the guys with custom kits made things much more complicated than the kits already on the marke. I thought the front mount turbo systems out there were already a P.I.T.A to install, because so much stuff had to be removed/relocated/het wraped.

well I know that and I dont want a GT42R but it happens to be what I have 
I have been looking for a used GT35-37R cause that would simplify this build alot more.

Some people don't get how tight it is in there, untill they start working on the car.

I haven't had time to update my thread but this is how I did it.
Never burned anything, nothing moved, no leaks, no reliability issues, daily driven, daily abused.
Hope that helps you somehow.
