Leaving motor mount opens up the area to run the air filter to the front above the sway bar for easier filter change ..right now you have to remove the turbo to change it
Interesting.

I’ve entertained the turbo idea a few times but I think I’ll stick with the sc for now, I have planned to build the motor even before I boosted it, I can do all the work myself which saves lots $$$, and have part supplier nearby here in Canada, might even give the jwt cams a try to, e85 will be a huge difference with the lower combustion temps, reduced detonation etc, my friend converted to e85 on his supra with amazing results, and seb at specialty z recommended it even on my current setup and ecutek will give even better results. I’ll post my e85 experience once converted
