Not sure about that engine mount bracket, I'll have to save judgement for when I actually see it. But the inter-cooler and intake piping should work fine and the waste gate clears so that is good, I just hope that waste gate can survive that close to the DP.

That one still looks like the brace has to be removed.
Is that right?

I know he tried very hard so the brace would not have to be removed however in my case it looks like to use the brace I will have to modify it slightly. I am using a Big 50mm synapse waste gate that is not standard for the kit.

Just so you know my boost bros headers wouldn't clear my brace so I used heavy duty brass washers to lower the brace a little bit.

Could someone post a pic of the aformentioned subframe brace please. Taking a objective view i think this type of modification needs to be fitted by a experienced shop.
My other concern is the entire engine moving under heavy load and cornering on track with such tight clearances. It hasnt put me of completely

Just got myself a nice evo2 race battery

I only say that because the esmeril kit is the most giant piece of crap kit on gods green earth.

I'd buy 20 turblown kits before I went the esmeril route. Turblown the only real issue is the wait period, the esmeril is wait periods+ knock off parts+ crappy customer service.

The top mount kit should not have any clearance issues
