Default Turbo drive line

First off is anybody currently running a twin turbo in any 4th gen's. if so could you post up some pics. The reason i ask is i am about to drop my turbo motor in and upon doin some measuring have discovered that the hood will not evin come close to fitting, not only will the turbos hit but the intake and pressure plenum is way to high. also i think there might be a heat issue with the inner fenders?? i am using banks manifolds whitch place the turbos right where the air conditioner and alternator used to be.

well it will take it for a little wile then it will go.....when adding a mod like a turbo. you should put in a beefier tranny the rear end should be fine as long if you stay away from slicks.

We need some more info about your setup. what year car, manual or auto, what kind of power are you anticipating?

IF you have a dana 36 rear, i would definately recommend getting the dana44. Automatic trannies are a little more forgiving on the drivetrain than manuals since they provide a little more give. Its not the power that breaks things, but more the shock from the initial punch.
