Hiya, just been looking at classicswede store and there are "motorsport brackets" it say you gain a bit extra clearance for turbo conversions, would a garret t3 clear with these brackets?

I havn't used them, but have used a similar idea. It basically converts to a traditional mount the engine sits on, rather than hangs from that the 360 has. These clear lots of space for a turbo and the oil drain, but for a really big turbo to clear the chassis you may need an adaptor or custom manifold.

The T3 will just about clear but you will probably need to pack the drivers side mount with a couple of washers to gain clearance. The chassis rail is the big limiting factor

Thanks Dai, don't know when I will get around to my conversion but I will buy a set when I do :)
