Hey thanks, it looks good, I understand the ground clearance problems alot better now, those are really low. I like you setup though, its a good idea, and really keeps everything compact.

Yea nothing that requires too much wrestling. I'm sure you have seen the grabber f150, but that is what I would like to see how they did the setup on, and there is also a guy who did a 4v Expy, like to see his setup as well.

Lot's of new posts in here today.

How remote is the the STS kit? I probably wouldn't be interested if there was more than 1psi pressure loss between the compressor and the throttle body. It is looking more and more like I am going to be piecing together my own kit and having someone fabricate the manifolds for me. I am looking to build the internals and transmission and would like to see 500rwhp on pump gas.

the turbo on an sts kit is mounted in place of your muffler.

the only thing i dont like abou an sts kit is that u have to have an oil pump to pump the oil from the turbo back to the oil pan. just one more thing to fail.

I would likely modify the kit so that the turbo has its own dedicated oil supply. Make a tank that tucks up under the frame nicely, add filtration to it and wire in a nice electric pump to keep things cirulating. I guess an oil cooler with a fan would be a good idea as well, but that is all nominal.
