This is a friendly suggestion to test fitment before you get too much further. I have a 74mm turbo, and it barely clears the shock tower even though the compressor points down 45 degrees past horizontal.

Nice project!

Scott. Thanks for the head's up on the compressor housing outlet with the 90 degree not having enough room to clear the passenger-side shock tower. I did a test fit on a local's SCxxx before it was taken to get Welded up. Only time will tell if I have enough room to clear the passenger-side shock tower. I got my fingers crossed. I am more worried about the oil drain line. The GT35R don't lend itself with alot of room to run the oil drain. What do you think about the oil drain??? Do you have any Pictures of your Set-up???

Oil drain is something to be concerned about, as well. The drain line is all about diameter. I tried an 8 AN line that exited straight down off the center bearing cartridge (no major bends), and it wasn't enough to return the pressurized feed. Oil blew right out the exhaust housing of a brand new turbo resulting in lots of blue exhaust smoke. When I went back to the 10AN line, the problem went away.

The last time I just torque the flywheel bolts to 36 ft lb. Come to find out there is a two step process.
See Picture below:

Nothing new. Just a little test fit of the Turbo in the car. It fits but clearance is close
