Do you see any concern or issues with the drivers side exhaust manifold so close to the alternator and it's wires?

I have not had any issues thus far with the hotside being ceramic coated and header wrapped. It is a concern of mine though. I’ll cross that bridge when I have issues and keep everyone updated

I didnt know there was one. I’ll ask around I’m sure someone I know will be there. If the car is still together I’ll bring it out

Delayed thread bump I know. Was there any need for additional turbo support on the bottom side? Ive been reading this thread for 4 days now contemplating swapping from my UPP twin setup to a front mount custom S478 Billet 1.10 T4. Kinda hard to see but do you think there would be room for a front passenger side exit exhaust?

Thanks for the thread btw.

Plenty of room for a passenger side bumper exit. I was going to do that before I sold the kit. I would most definitely support the weight of a turbo with a brace of some sort.

Do you happen to remember which Derale fans you used on the radiator?
Also, are you still using the surge tank setup?

I do not remember the part number for the fans.

I returned the car to NA AND i sold the car. I did sell my entire fuel system to a buddy of mine here to run it on his LSA swapped v1 CTS-v. He just made great power and daily drives the car

Do you remember where or even better the part # for the dummy radiator cap? I cant find one anywhere.
