You'd probably have to cut out most if not all of the fender on the driver's side to make room for that turbo and it's plumbing. Looks cool though.

That's what I've been working on, had to notch the crossmember for the pulley and ps pulley since it's relocated a little,don't have to cut fender at all but the hood will need some fabbing up.[IMG]

And the top radiator hose outlet needs to be clocked to the 11:00 position to clear SC pulley ,I opted for the carb hat instead of the carb inclosure box.[IMG]
