here some pics of what my layout its gonna look like. once the battery its out of there ill have plenty space to work
the snail its gonna be sitting lower than the i/c, the compressor outlet pipe its gonna come out strait and its gonna connect to the i/c inlet that u dont see in picture 1. the inlet piping of the compressor its gonna follow the same path of the out let pipe but ill come out through the intake box whole to the bumper.
or at least thats what am planing on doing

Finally Boosted!!!!!!!
What you guys are failing to mention is that pipe is 3". That means the MAF is scaled incorrectly and you would need to rescale it via a reflash or step up to a 3.5" MAF tube. The step up to a 3.5" MAF tube is going to kill any laminar flow you have established with the long pipe. Ask me how I know...

Sick you should ave stuck with my design. 
wouldn't have to deal with all the cramped space in the engine bay.
That turbo is smaller in size, and would fit much easier under the car.
Good luck with your build though. It is always cool to see people engineer stuff on their own.

I accidentally deleted that avatar. And didn't have a copy of the file at work. So no mo ****load. In fact there is no more boost at all, well not until sometimes next week, when CRH and I are done with the rebuild and drive it around some to make sure all is nice and peachy.
I can't wait. So tired of driving slow vehicles.

. yeah its gonna be really cramped in there for sure.
i might modify the manifold to change the location of the snail and steal some space for a bigger snail in the future, since am moving the battery to the trunk 
but ill see about that when its in there and i start test fitting everything.whats up with ur build ur build?

You'll be fine with this turbo.
I wasn't trying to say that the turbo I have is bigger and better, but rather that dimension wise yours takes less space than mine, and would fit under the car completely painlessly. I haven't measured, but just by looking at a t70 it is probably at least an 1" wider on the cold side. Just the inlet alone is 4" wide.
Let me know if you need help making that downpipe.

there will be plenty of room to fit the turbo once tha battery is out of the way.
it is running the down pipe back down through the maze of coolant hoses and stuff, that's gonna be tricky.

yeah that gonna be the hardest part of the whole build.
now let me get to move the battery to the trunk, and get the engine clear of everything that needs to come out.

alright so i got the battery moved to the trunk, and the exhaust mani out, not much but
its a whole lot more then what i actually expected to get done, just to much between taking care of the animals, my daughters BD and work.
but
by next week ill be able to focus more time in it,
mean while ill have time to think about my emu options. ill love to get my hands on the Cobb AP but on the other hand the EFIdude looks tenting at only 300bucks. inputs from anyone running boost with eather one of them are welcome
