Turbo relocation

[Dave]

The gt2259s compressor housing is very very big, I attempted to try it down the back of a 205 engine bay once (more room than a 306) and it wouldn't fit, it hit the bulk head and brake servo. Some one how ever did fit one down the back of a 306 engine once on this fourm but he never completed the thread, and said he was going to make a custom engine mount to move the engine forward as it hit the bulk head.

Plus gearbox mount looks awsome

Had no issues fitting both 2260v and 2256v both large VNts down the back no problem. You have to make sure the blowers are angleddown towards the steering rack - the engines sit at 60 degrees as you go low down the back you gain heaps heap heaps of room, trust me going down the back is a lot easier than gearbox mounting. Doesn't look as good but i wouldn't make that the sole reason for gearbox mounting the turbo. Have attached photo or 2256v
