It looks different than my 3.5 engine bay. My engine looks more centered rather than shifted to the left...

With some slight modification it will probably fit if you move the battery to the trunk.

Dexion is correct, a battery relo is necessary if you're going to turbo the A/C. I've been doing some measuring between the 3.5 Sedan and the A/C, there are 1-2" variations, but nothing that I think can't be overcome.

But, don't rush to buy and install yet, the mods will be out within the next few months. Hold for a while and you'll be happier than trying to force something into place. (Based on the picture above, you might need that 1-2" for the cone filter.

The real challenge will be fitting an intercooler I think, The A/C lost 7+ inches somewhere along the line when compared to the sedan, i'm guessing they drew in the gap spaces on the edges of the car, only 4" was lost in the wheelbase which means they found 3+ elsewhere.

2-Cents, Good Luck

BTW - Turbo is on my list also, just want to be sure the CVT will take it.
