That is intended to work with the AC compressor in the stock location.

That will place the turbo in the exact same spot the AC compressor when using the Kwik Performance/Vintage Air bracket.

Easier said than done. Have you actually set the turbo in between the engine and radiator? I have. It didn't fit.

no i havent yet. just figured if camaro guys can we should be able too. been kinda worrying about my turbo being so heavy i was wondering how to mount it. my turbo ended up being a 88mm. its a little to big but got it cheap so will try it.

sorry 69trk not trying to hijack. i will be following the build.

I didn't have time to make the setup myself. I got the brackets from a guy on LS1tech that goes by fox12303

It's about 3x the cost of the Kwik setup, but worth it for my application...IMO.

Installed my wilsons 90mm throttlebody. Had to make a wheel bracket for the throttle cable to work. Installed the starter, alternator and most of the hydraboost unit. Finally received all my guages so I can start back to wiring the truck.

Got the ronfrancis wiring all installed and everything works except for the dome light when i open the doors:metal: I also got the fuel lines finished, just need to buy a couple gallons of gas and cycle the fuel thru the filter to make sure everything is clean.... Then i'll plug the oil feed and return so i can put some oil in it and crank it to lubricate the engine.... next thing is ordering my ac system and installing radiator and mounting ecu and running the holley hp wiring.... slowly getting there... I would upload pics but for some reason all my file types are to large even after i shrink them...
