H,
I plan on using the Anchor mounts and the Jaeger speed mount as well. The Anchor mounts are shorter than stock..
I like The crossbrace that is used in Louie's ITB setup, as I think it places the bar between the SC pulley and the front of the car. this would eliminate the SC snout from touching the Crossbrace and be a cleaner install. I have to ask louie if he has any left.. If not, I'll just make one if I have to..

H,
The USD thing was chosen for efficiency of the system as key factor #1. The space wasted is not wasted, as as long as all the stuff that's needed fits, there is no wasted space..
The SC can be mounted in any 90 deg. plane. As far as oiling, I did not mention it, but the SC will be fed with pressurized engine oil from a specialized metering orifice. The SC drain will be back to the sump. I could have use a closed system, but I thought why bother if I am already changing all these other things.. It's not har to run a couple of oil lines..
In addition, there is a limit on use with closed oiling of the SC. With open (from Eng Oil Cooler), there is less SC case pressure, heat, and bearing wear... This is from Opcon Engineering Dept. directly...
Brendan,
I needed every inch of space, so yes, those 2 ins are important to me...!

Shane,
Thanks..! I am hoping it will be adequately fast/quick/fun..! If it turns out to be bad ***, then so be it...!

Rich, this is very impressive work. Are you planning to put thermocouples in strategic places to evaluate how the various components are doing their job?

TB Adapter
Hi All,
I thought I'd post a pic of the TB adapter as well..
The opening with the twin circular cutouts mounts to the intake face of the SC. The oval flat opening is where the TB mounts. The TB will be customized to mate to the MAF, and I have had to use a reverse direction TPS, as the TB opens the other way from the stock TB..
The TB is made by ACCUFAB for Kenne Bell Cobras, and flows 1650 CFM. It's their "big oval" TB.
