I thought I would share a few pics of a front mount Twin Turbo that we are doing (One off for my car). I recieved a Gen 1 one off turbo kit that I put on my 98' GTS. Well it did not fit at all and we would have had to cut the frame alot. So we are reworking the entire kit to fit and are making the headers much better.

+1 for effort

But even if you manage to cramp everything into the engine bay like intended in the pictures when the car is actually running your going to have nothing but issues from heat to damage being cause by motor movement.

Anyways good luck on the project.

cool stuff you've got there.

I thought the TT's always had the turbo's underneath at the headers, but you've got them on top, or do I misunderstand this, why is this different?

Main reason is just to show the turbos when you open the hood. This will make a good gravity drain for the oil as well and keep the heat away from your feet.

Things are now out of control :) Engine is off getting new pistons, rods, and main caps. I found a set of 76's that are now going on it.

I would love to move my turbos to the front of the motor, but man that seems like a ton of work!

I may have asked you this on the Alley already, but you probably had to move the oil filter and get rid of the A/C compressor to get the up pipes to the front of the motor?

Moved oil filter, yes. Still has A/C!
