That mounting really threw me. I assume this was done just for tuning but you have to wonder why you woundn't just mount in the way it was suppose to be mounted rather than do it twice. Could it be that they never intended to keep that monster in the car? Perhaps thats a stupid question.

Perhaps thats a stupid question. thats how/where supra turbos are mounted. he probably has a 5in+ downpipe on that thing and had to do it that high up to clear everything. i mean ... look at that thing... it looks like its too big for the engine bay! -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Correct me if I am wrong, but that turbo, as it sits is AT LEAST 6" above the top of the hood. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

yeah... but look how wide it is. i think it would hit the strut towers if it was sitting any lower. thats probably why they put it up that high.

that turbo is nuts! the stupid thing is, i know a guy who produces more HP on a single smaller turbo setup. 1200 hp for a turbo that big is kinda weak.
