Guessing no A/C?

EDIT -- I see the compressor now, but no lines lol

Also, that downpipes looks small.. like 3". Def going to need more than that on a single turbo set up.
ya lines had to be modified. 4” downpipe. Looks small with that giant housing cover. There will be a 4” boost activated cut out just behind the shock tower

I assume you're going to use a low profile radiator and/or fan setup. move the rad and all fwd.

actually running a thicker radiator but yes its moved forward considerably with low profile fans. Trans cooler was also relocated. shop is ensuring we get the best air flow through all of the heat exchangers possible

Very nice.... I'm leaning toward top mount twins, since really a T4 would be choking the engine.
As we can see T6 requires a lot of thinking and modifications.
Two more questions: the coolant neck or "Y" with the thermostat housing did you guys choose to go around or modify the manifold (potentially in a new location)? I know it's a work in progress so if you don't rightly know it's fine. Are you guys keeping the front sway bar The steeda Kmember I can't tell if its road race or drag, but there is a LOT more space there with it installed

The t6 for him wasnt the issue. He could have mounted the turbo higher to and more to the driver side but he knew I didnt want some fukboi shit (jk). Gave him free reign to do what he wanted. He wanted to keep the turbo low so that forced some things to be moved. Had he not done that the t6 would not have been an issue.

for the upper radiator there will be hard piping to direct to the housing but no modification there. On the bottom side he is going to make a few adjustments to the connections to make them work.

Ya the steeda piece def makes a lot more room. This does have the provisions for the sway bar but I wont be running it.

Sway bar not needed... I can tell no difference whatsoever on my car not having it.

why do you not run a SB? my setup would not be for drag racing only but I believe I would get out there and do something when my build is completed. I'll be keeping those on mine.

I recently removed mine when I went to the BMR Kmember. I couldnt even tell a difference from having it.

That's good to know.

I think maybe the car isn't getting pushed hard enough into a corner. I've seen little things like a ride height mismatch cause an inside tire to lift.

I guess for daily driving there wouldn't be an issue then. Just good weight savings.
I plan on a more than a few road course outings in mine. It's

100%. I run the same K member. 0 difference that I can tell. Ive been daily driving the car with the new motor for almost 2500 miles this way and its awesome.

Yea but I will def have it turned down when I take it out.
I'll likely be running slicks on while it's out there.

On a side note TKM just emailed me and said my SB is done. man I'm getting excited!
