Before everyone comes at me the reason I’m asking this is because I am slowly building the car. currently have full Bolton’s stage 3VC 50 controlled snow meth kit and a Visconti flex fuel kit. I am currently waiting to see what kind of power numbers people are pushing with different turbos with similar set ups not ready to throw the turbo on but I want to get everything ready so I can just bolt it on and get re-tuned. I’ve gotten a few custom pieces like my chargepipe and just want to get the top now so I can plan out what else I can do With that said, is it possible to top mount the stock turbo for now?

If I get like the top mount kit that doesn’t come with a turbo I can’t use the stock turbo for now?

Your mom asked for a top mount.

Side story: I walked in on her as a kid. I thought her boyfriend was being abusive. Almost hit the fucker with a wiffle ball bat.

This post was doomed from the start ???
Yes it was ?? it was just a genuine question I’m coming from the American muscle world this is my first turbo/ non American car so I’m learning this whole boost thing.
