Yes exactly.

The turbo is larger than your freaking head bro. It needs room lol. Here is the low down.

S&R made theirs fit just fine in the same location with a slightly larger turbo. But I want to make it better.

Moving everything REALLY cleans up the engine bay and de-clutters it and will give the turbo and exhaust piping and intercooler piping more breathing and cooling room. Also moving the engine coolant/power steering coolant tanks away from that will allow those components to perform under more regular temps. Unlike S&Rs kit where those two tanks sit pretty much right in the middle of everything. You'll hopefully see updates with pictures Thursday.

Honestly guys...Pat and I were both very...intimidated taking this build on but now that we have **** apart and have the time to work and sketch and design it all its really coming together and honestly I'm really relaxed while working on this.
