I hope Corky can turn out a kit for the Crossfire, that would be awesome. I can say from experience that there is no room for anything larger than a 16g or similar sized turbo next to, or under current position of the exhaust manifolds. If you want a large single turbo, in the valley or rear mount are the only options with out re-constructing the wheel.
Good to hear form you! I always wondered about the turbo in the valley. Seems like you would have to paint the hood with VHT paint. We will get Corky's ideas on Monday, but I have always thought we would end up rear mount. Rear mount has some advatages such as the least expensive way to mount a turbo. I forgot to mention that Corky has developed his own self contained turbo cooling system that gets rid of the expensive scavenge and having to run engine oil to and from the turbo. Then the issue is the ground clearance. I wonder if instead of a single 2.5" charge pipe you could run multiple small tubes with a 2.5" in/out manifolds at each end?
