[V]

yea, i know that install, seems theres only one or two, (black and silver V's) that they've ever done and is FAR from a stock setup in the car. They used the GTO bracket which ive researched and decided against.
Rad and everything was eventually changed in that EPP build. Notice upper rad hose going to driver side. Fans were also swapped to dual pushers in front of the rad. Thats a one-off build not a common install, so therefore im not even looking into how they did stuff, besides for what they charged to do that i would go rear-mount twin turbos, and still have money left over.

----------------

For my setup, my major item will be the custom bracket/mounting plate.
My question is, what material and thickness should i use?
I want to do aluminum due to weight and that it would look better IMO.
Id do 6061-T651 Aluminum, but im not sure on thickness id need.
The stock smaller bracket plate that comes with the kit looks to be no more than 1/2" thick.
So id do 1/2" at the minimum, but probably 5/8" thick just to be safe since the bracket would be about 10"x16"(rough estimate).

I figure a 1'x2' plate of 6061-T651 Aluminum would be big enough and i would use some of the scraps cut off for parts of other brackets.

1'x2' 1/2" plate is about $100
1'x2' 5/8" plate is about $140
