[QUOTE="98cobra#1222, post: 14836057, member: 125489"] The turbo kit was designed around the 70mm turbo so with me running a 78 there just isn't enough room. The compressor housing just barely touches the fan shroud, so its either trim the shroud, run a slim fan, or move the radiator forward a hair. I would rather keep the stock fan and shroud so that leaves me with just one option. Problem is moving the radiator means moving the AC condenser forward, assuming there will be room. So I will more then likely need custom AC lines if I can figure out a good spot to move everything. I may just end up ditching AC as I have only used it a handful of times in the last 9 years. I believe there are a couple of guys running 76mm turbos that seem to fit just barely with no fan interference. My initial impressions are good. Everything seems to fit after proper adjustment, the key is leaving it all loose and tightening a little at a time to bring everything up together. I think a lot of people have issues when the tighten one thing down, which is a little out of place, then try to tighten the next piece down stream. With the lack of space in the engine compartment you have to be careful with letting small miss-alignments stack up into large problems. I really think it will all go together just fine but upgraded v band clamps are key, like I said the ones that came with the kit wouldn't work at all. Also I am confident that any turbo kit will need some tweaking and grinding to get them to fit your particular car, it seems to just be how it goes. :D [/QUOTE]
