    VERY NICE Build! Love the color combo also. One question I had is...Where is your alternator mounted? Do you have any pic's you can post? Thanks for sharing! Bulids like that is the inspiration for the ones of us that are new to turbos (& many that have been around it awhile also, I'm sure) Lorne

    the alternator is on the passenger side down low (where the mechanical fuel pump would mount)

    Hows the temperature with that radiator setup? Any street time, or is it all track?

    It looks like a scirroco dual pass radiator... Is that right? That's what I'm using too.

    That's the exact same radiator I'm using, but mine has a filler neck. I had Evans Performance Fabrications weld the 16an bungs on mine.

    I'm glad to see that yours is running cool.. Granted I'm running a few more cubes, but I'm still wondering if mine is going to overheat.
