simply amazing Greg! that vert is going to be something else. I'm sorry we live so far from one another. I'd love to come over and offer a hand or two.

p.s. please let me know when or if you'll be going to Firebird. I need an excuse to get my car back out on the track

Maybe I'm retarded, but wouldn't that put the throttle pulley on the wrong side?

Talked with Rick yesterday, I'm about 1.5" from being able to close the hood. Need to gain some clearance somehow....

let me guess... the turbo is hitting the hood? an inch and a half is alot to be needed. you can always cut out the piece that needs to clear, and then put a little cowl cover over it. nothing big though, just big enough to clear what you need. and if done nice (which if its going on your car im sure it would) it would look pretty good and also let some of that damn heat out as well. post some pics of what youre talking about.

Actually, the turbo clears - the TB flange is hitting the hood.

i think what Anthony meant to say was rotating the TB 180 deg.

ok, so is it just the cable bracket thats hitting/not clearing? if it is, then why dont you put that on the bottom bolts of the tb? or make a new bracket that comes up from the bottom.
