Not sure yet. Might make a " bridge" using an upper and lower VC bolt just in case.

I'm leaning towards using the same setup David used when he did a compound setup for a customer. It looked like a very clean setup.
On a side note, is there any reason the driver's side can't be used for an atmospheric turbo if you relocated the battery to the frame or some other location?

Yeah, the wheel well was removed but one could be fabbed up to replace it. David talked about that when he was explaining how they put it together.
Damn...didn't think about the exhaust routing. Glad I asked. LOL
I wish I had a way to do some mock ups.

I ran my Gt47/38R combo on a stock bottom end for years. All my pistons were cracked but that was thermal, almost certainly from EGT's sustained when the truck was overfueling the piss out of the 38R as a single years beforehand. I dyno'ed 544 on the DJ on that setup with a set of freakin 30% nozzles....
I limited the boost to ~50 to 55lbs IIRC.
30% nozzle? 
Im hellbent on running 275/200s and compounds on a stock bottom.end. I just dont like(as if there would.be a choice if it blew) the idea of doing the work and then pulling said motor a.month later. Im not hard on vehicles anyway. My stock trans made it 250ish thousand miles.
I think.learning to tune is.going to be paramount for me to do.what I.want.
