Two things:
I have a VG motor
Where can I find dimensions and such for T3, T3/T4, wastegates? I'll try to decide on the simplest setup.
Also, I noticed on the back of the VG's intake plenum, there are two holes with what look like freeze plugs. What are these for?

I have it across the cross member but I'm going with a solid mount that goes AROUND the piping I got the manifold and 3" down thru there.
but it was tight I can't see how it would work with the stock mount.
never underestimate the will of someone going Turbo!!!

Yes the manifold bolts up the DET has the same heads as a max. I had to modify it to work though.

It's a 3" pipe going down. That was actually the hard part Hehehe...you nailed the hard question! I'll see if I can get pics when it's up on the lift ... actually, I think I have them here somewhere. I'll see if I can post them tonight.

Hehe! I have been swamped with emails since the pics! It's amazing what pics do for your popularity!

There may be three-four turbo maxes in CO within a year based off of mine. Two orders have been placed for the kit and another seems serious! We'll get great benefit here in CO cos of the altitude! Hehe! I am excited ... not so excited about paying the bill at the end though .

So here's part of the underside. It's not a very good pic, which is why I didn't post it before. I'll try to get better ones:

Ok in case you don't know what you're looking at, this my perspective on that pic.

You are standing under the car facing the front. You look up and to the left. You are looking at the down pipe coming from the battery area. Is this right?

1. Look at my first post on Turbo 4th gen thread... I am certain it's there or very close. Off the top of my head, I don't know.

2. To answer Unclemax, yes I am standing below where the battery would be. The battery had to be relocated to the trunk. . There was one section of pipe that had to be flattened a little, that was the hard part.
