wheres a good place to mount the turbo

Ok, I have a half PTK hotside and im going to have the rest made. I have thier headers and cross-over and im doing the rest. I was thinking about putting it where the battery goes...but if i put it all the way in..theres no way for the headers to mount to the turbo without cutting the frame off..and if I make it to I can mount the headers..,theres nowhere to start the cold side piping...So any ideas of where this thing will fit where its out of the way of the radiator? (theres no A/C or heater in the car along with any of the components that make them work.

Hmm. . . I'm confused by this question. The whole point of purchasing PTK hot parts is so you don't have to figure out where to put the turbo and fab up the piping to put it there. If you were planning on mounting the turbo in a custom location, then why purchase somebody else's piping. Put it where PTK meant for it to go, like in SBCGENII's picture.

I think you guys missed something. I only ordered their headers/x-over. The pipes stop at the Sway bar. I dont want it in front of the engine like that, I want it higher up. I was wondering where else it would fit over on that side.

You might have some room if you get rid of your abs you could mount it over torwards that side, Just remember to keep it above your oil pan so it will drain.

Yeah, I want it up top. I can pretty much put it anywhere on the passenger side.
