I may be wrong here, but I think the reason you aren't supposed to mount a turbo at an angle has to do with the way the oil drains from the turbo. If you mount the turbo at an angle, the oil drain wouldn't be at the bottom of the turbo so oil would build up inside and play havoc with the seals and whatnot.

School me if I'm wrong here.

I *think* Jordan Musser did an ABS Relocate job... Dont know if anyone else ever did - but aside from the visual satisfaction of a more open engine bay - it'd physically open up a lot more room. I wonder about that one myself.

Doesn't the ABS system have to be bled by a professional once you unhook it from lines? I'd love to relocate my ABS module.

if I remember right the system onl;y has to be bled if the ABS was activated the las titme before it was disconnected or if the system was activated while you had a leak otherwise the valves stay closed and you can bleed it normal per instructions

Sort of right. Boost is just air pressure, you can blow air into a straw with your mouth and make 6psi, but it won't feed your hungry 350. T3s are capable of 20 to 30 psi...

But you need airflow as well, and a T3 won't supply enough air. Two of them would. Probably around 40 lbs/min, or 600cfm is what you would need.

Tial does. Mine is a Tial 38mm and has a 4psi spring (0.3 bar). $220
