Just a general question...I know a few (mostly Dr. Tweak) have clocked turbos for there set ups. My question is why doesn't all the 3s and 5s guys do it. Clocking the turbo isn't that hard, just relocate the wastegate. It would shorten up ur ICP leading to a somewhat faster spool and its looks better imo. I'm actually going to be doing a midmount setup this winter with the sr cause of the difference in spool time. I was just wondering y no one does it?

Yeah I was reading about making the IWG bracket but its not hard to trace out a templet and then buy some metal and cut it. Would prob cost you 10-15 bucks at most if that. It just seems like an easier mod to do and more benifical...you shorten your ICP which means 2 things, one faster spool, and two less money spent on ICP. And it looks alot cleaner. Probs to you itchy for doing it

I don't like the idea of bending actuator rod. 2. Would it mount OK on an AWD tranny? Here is an example of bracket for 1st gen.  -------------------- _Gary
