    Looks very nice! That certainly does not look easy. So you're mounting your turbocharger forward in the engine bay like a normal honda turbo kit, but you're essentially rotating it's position so that it's on top of the manifold rather than underneath?

    If that's the case, how does the rest of the plumbing for the turbo work, like the downpipe and such? I'm just curious. I think this is a sweet project. I'm also interested in what kind of performance benefits you'll see from this. Good luck man!
