Search for Steve Chumo's thread on his build...His first version was cheap and worked effectively. If you can weld, then you can do this. I believe you will have to relocate your battery to the trunk, but this should work out and at a minimum of cost. You won't have to do massive plumbing or deal with the electric oil pump you will have to design and install for a low mount set up. Plus, the turbo stays up front in your engine bay, protected from the elements.
You can run 5-6 PSI with the stock ECU, and you should be able to use the stock transmission as well.

If you're stumped on working with space, here's an idea, Not sure if you've ever heard about it but it's big with the Vette guys.
No need for an intercooler as the air gets cooled on its way to the motor.
Also, you would think that it'd lag, but since the heads on the motor can breathe as they normally would there really is no lag whatsoever.

I've already ran the cables to the trunk for the relocate but Ive been too lazy to actually pull and move the battery.
Welding isnt an issue, I own a fab shop What I really want to figure out is how to jump over the a/c (hence the 6 mutilated manifolds).

I was gonna wait until I was finished to tell everyone but since I saw that youre using a volvo turbo I guess Ill break the news. The turbo Im using is an old CT20 from a 22RET pickup. I got it for free then rebuilt it to sell it but then decided to put it in my Lex.
Im sorry but I refuse to do a rear mount turbo.
Like I said, this is just temporary to hold me over till I finish my manual swap and also try to find a cheaper solution for turbocharging the 1UZ. I plan on doing a twin turbo eventually so whatever I do I want to make sure it will still work in the future.

Sweet, more Denver guys. We have no SC scene here at all, it's lame. Aurora has quite a few but they're all ghettofied so it doesn't count. We should get together sometime when the weather's nice and my car runs again.
