Could ya flip the turbo around? Looks like its at an angle that may put back into cage. But may introduce other problems with the charge lines to cooler?Looking good. I got to get busy on mine.....
Hey Dave, I had the same problem. I did flip the turbo around, slightly bent the rear bars, then made a new bracket to put the alternator on the drivers side. But I see your radiator line runs thru there; may not work like mine. Not a good pic but it shows it. Keep after it man!
lets see if i can put my idea into words lol,,,,look at budlights pic...pull turbo and bolt cross bar back on......bend a tube like in budlights pic and weld it to the ends of you cross bar......once that is done cut the original tube 1" in from the edges of the welds that weld the new one on. now take a 1.5" hole saw and make to end caps and weld the old cross tube ends shut and paint.!! wallah plenty of clearance now you won't have to worry about strength if you are'nt trying to get an additonal 6" or so back there. 2-4" i think you would be just fine. land on your ass end in a wheelie stance you no you won't be fine lol
the wedge shaped flange welded on would work as long as you get your oil drained straight up and down again?
do you run a outback header the hot side of the turbo hits my alternator pulley. another thought I've had, is to build a small t3 flange adapter to tilt the turbo up and in closer to the motor.
