low mounted turbo
hay there just a quick question if you mount turbo in factory lowmounted position dose it have enough in engine bay to fit it like this???
Here's mine in a conquest with the engine back a little too far. The turbo has been rotated opposite of the original position and housings clocked. There is plenty of room on my lefthand drive car. In a righthand there would be a problem with the steering parts. If it's going in that Sigma you may need some fancy routing.

That's how I mounted both my HX35 and Craig's GT35 turbos. There is still space to go bigger as well. What gets tricky is how far back the turbo sits. Its difficult to fit a 3" mandrel bend back there!

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
