First off, no pics tonight, I'm too beat, lol! Probably tomorrow afternoon/evening.
I got the old stock turbo junk ripped off tonight, and then I set the Turbonetics stage II mount in there. I got my S465 set on the mount and that's as far as I went before I ran out of energy.
The compressor housing is close to the firewall insulation, about 1/4", but it's actually about 3/4" away from the firewall. It's also about 3/8" from the end of the wiper motor, so it also clears that fairly easily.
I didn't get the up-pipes set in, I will be putting newly used manifolds on(thanks Maintain!). I'm trying to use an OBS driver's manifold first, and if it doesn't work I'll look for a SD manifold. The passenger side manifold is the same so no worries there.
The downpipe looks fairly straight-forward, basically a 90* towards the rear out of the turbo, and then a 45* into my current 3" dp.
For anyone curious about it working with the stock fuel system, it will work if you tweak the pass. side line down slightly, and slightly grind/notch the front of the baseplate where it touches the back of the fuel pump.
I'm already loving this mount/turbo, I put the turbo on in pieces, turbine housing, center section, and then the comp housing, everything will be easy to hook up or take off.
Any questions post them up or send me a PM, I'm stoked! Oh and I don't forsee this being down for a few weeks, so please be patient.
