Did he has to cut much out of the engine bay? And the turbo --- > inlet looks a bit complicated LOL

Intercooler pipes must be tucked anyway well

only the inner wing/chassis on the drivers side and a small area by the gearbox needed modified. The turbo was spun round and the inlet manifold elbow was turned round. Its a tight but very neat fit.

Will get more detailed pics up soon

looks like a real tight fit. Do you have detailed pics of the modded engine bay before and after fitting the Cossie?

yeah the gearbox was moved over to give extra room, there is enough room now to get the engine out without having to remove the gearbox
