well, I know you stripped out the AC, and I'm willing to bet you've changed some parts to increase power/increase noise/decrease comfort... My real dream is to do a sports luxury conversion... turbo built motor + premium interior/ICE (trimming weight as much as possible to keep the sport side of things) so I was wondering if everything you've done will fit with the AC intact

You could keep the A/C with everything I've done except the custom radiator (no room for the a/c condenser with mine). I ran this car for months after it was turbo'd; there's nothing different with a built motor looking at it from the outside.

BTW pros for the quality video there! |

I don't think it fits to be in the engine bay, I decided to fit it into the inner dash which is protected more from heat there and tubing is well more organized in dash. But that is just my opinion :)
And I like hearing the solenoid clicking when boost activates and it seems like the bov sound is heard from the sintered muffler. I wsh I took pics of the installation but I was too exited to make it work :) |

I would rather keep the vacuum/bost lines in the engine bay, and the runs as short as possible. I don't think the temp of those lines is going to make you any more or less power.
But that is just MY opinion, there are plenty of people on here that know more than me.
