Way to whore out that picture mang. Whats on the compressor outlet of the turbo on the right? It looks like jizz. No! bad TMS, no sexual relations with car parts. Wow, could you imagine getting your fire hose stuck in the turbine blades? Forget zippers, that would hurt sooo much worse.

looks like someone threw up on their CA.........

I assume this is a function vs form build, but then again I dont see a ton a function in a TT setup on a CA either.

didnt an FC or FD run a TMIC like that? maybe that was what they borrowed it from........

the FC ran a TMIC but that doesn't look like an fc top mount to me.

yes, it's from a 4WD bluebird which sits the engine transverse like a FWD.For the record, there is no such ting as a "bluetop", somebody painted the valve covers blue.
