moving alternator to back
I was wondering if that guy still makes the kit to put the altenator where the a/c compressor goes. Already deleted the whole system and i need more room for a downpipe off the turbo.

Haven't seen much activity from them in a couple years but it's worth an email.

Never heard of anyone having that problem before, and there are a TON of boosted RD's out there.

If I remember there is one turbo setup that likes to put the downpipe right into the alt and if you do clear it, the pipe is so close its going to heat up the alt constantly. I do not remember what setup that was at the moment.

My downpipe is . 2 1/2 along with my exhaust. It sits right up against the altenator. Already melted the plastic on it. Would heat wrap help out alot?

I gained over 3" in my bend with no altinator in the way ! No more hot side shooting out of the turbo into a 90 bend!!..I Highly recommend the relocate kit !!
