Progress quite interesting where the turbos end up having to sit in an rx8 with all the stuff they have in the engine bay

We've just copied the turbo source header and it's location
Should sit ok with minimum pipe work to the IC once we turn the turbo

I take it the alternator doesn't fit in stock location? Did we talk about this before?

Yeah the alternator will sit down on the right hand side between chassis left and engine
Having reviewed
My turbo will sit around 2 inches higher than the photo I added
Need to start working / or copying photos for coils etc before I get too excited

Turbo is expected end of next week
In the meantime have fitted the external kill / switch / button
Switch is a lovely velocity red too .....
Think I'll need a white vinyl circle around it with the appropriate stickering for it

Does that go to a relay/contactor to cut the main feed?
