Anyone interested? I am putting a PT61 on my car. I didn't want to make a clearance in the hood and try to run it in the stock location. I also didn't like the draw through TB setup, especially considering I am running the Spearco FMIC conversion.
Since I am running an electric fan, there a ton of room in front of the motor. This is where the turbo will be, mounted vertically exhaust housing above compressor housing.
It's actually fairly straightforward. I utilized the plumbing that came with the FMIC kit, just shortened it up and relocated it. Only things I had to re-fab were the up and down pipes, and a new adapter for the back of the intake manifold to mount the throttle body.
The actual mockup only took a few hours... And I will have less than $100 in parts into it (other than the turbo of course).
I'll start taking some pictures if anyone is interested... And if you have any questions or thoughts on it, let me know and I'll address them myself on the car and let you know what I found.
