Sobe's turbo zetec

[bmylez]

Oh, I see what you were getting at, Jim. Thought he would keep the turbine on the same side as 99% of people. A downpipe shouldn't be a problem if you're going to rip a lot of crap out of the front (well, already have).

edit: Just realized you posted pics of how you were mounting the turbo in the beginning of the thread. Pay attention, Jim!

are you sure it will clear the radiator?

Because he ditched the A/C, he can move the radiator a couple inches forward and he can also notch part of the car if necessary.
