MY04 Liberty GT - FrankenStien - EOI welcome / FS

Turbo has arrived - however unfortunately the suppliers overseas provided a 4" inlet turbo instead of the 3" I ordered

The 4" won't fit in stock location

I will therefore have to go twist mount to make this work. Or I can send it back at my shipping expense and get them to replace. But judging by their tone and demeanour when I raised the error, I'm concerned they might slap together a new turbo with the 3" housing.

Need to decide whether to go twist mount. I know it will flow better and be slightly more responsive, but my driver of keeping the engine cover as I want this to be as stock looking as possible

Twist mount please ~~~~ hahaha

With 4 inch intake ....

[dr20t]

Haha thanks Chook but that's way too much work

Leo - will my stock cover fit with a twist mount setup you think?

Even if it needs to be modded slightly I don't mind, but want this as stock looking as possible

i got a feeling it will clear it ... let me go home tonight and try it ... if my catch can wasn't in the way ...think the cover will go over it easy ..

or you can do something like the Lexus .... engine cover that covers everything !!! haha

Thanks Leo

Man that would suffocate the poor motor! It's gonna have a hard enough life as it is under my driving style don't want it to choke

I think Al and A&M has done a few low mounts. Would have jigs and whatnot for an easy fab job. A bit of a drive from Sydney town though.

Yeowwwww twist mount.
Congrats on the turbo .
Gt30? Or gt35?

Your stealing my idea with running a 4" intake twist mount and trimming the engine cover to fit.

Done right and it will look porn having a 4" twist mount coming out the engine cover.

Can't wait to see Mick .
300 club here we come.

Funny that I used the same word earlier today when I was describing to someone how theirs looks
