Can someone check my measurements..block to crossmember.
Turbo Mini Forums

I am working (theoretucally) on my GT15 turbo install. I intend making a manifold and am just working out my angles etc. Trouble is I have a 1275 engine on the bench but in the car currently is a 998 and I am not 100% sure that the measurements I made are accurate. take a look at the pic below, I have 6" from the face of the head to the front of the crossmember is that about correct for a 1275??

Just measured mine and it's about 6"

Cheers..

As you can see I still have plenty of room even before I have to tilt the engine.. Big advantage with this small turbo. It even looks like I'll be able to mount the actuator in its normal position.

Well chuffed!!

Its a GT1548 with the T25 flange. I bought it new about a year ago for $495 but see its up to $650 now, glad I went for it, at the time it was about the first thing I bought for the car!
