Ahhhh, and here is the money maker, Garrett turbo and Tial blow off valve (wastegate):



Actual measurements, the offset of the output shaft will create some work for em

Oh, and for the tree huggers, here is all of my emissions equipment (charcoal canister, catalytic converter, air injection pump, EGR, and PCV) wrapped up in one tidy package

So, here begins the trial fitting. The header actually went down on the bike. It will face up in the car for fitment reasons.



Plenty of room back here. That is good. The driveshaft will go through here. I will fit a starter motor for reverse here as well if I ever get that far.



I will remake the header. I'll move the turbo a couple of inches lower, a couple of inches farther back (in the car), and a couple of inches closer to the head.

There is enough room between the clutch cover and the frame rail that holds the steering rack



Plenty of room for the steering column and I'll have adequate acces to the oil filter



I think I will curl the exhaust and wastegate pipe over the back of the inner fender and exit next to the footwell in front of the A pillar. I put the pedal box back in place and will have suffiecient clearance. I will surely have to make a bit of heat shielding here and there.

I didn't put the bugeye bonnet back on, but I will most likely have to modify it a bit as well. In this pic, you can see the turbo intake facing forward.



I have considered using the blinker spots on the bonnet for LED projector headlights and using the left bugeye for the turbo intake and the right bugeye for air ducting to the passenger compartment...
