Have you used a turbo booster in your conversions. I done a direct swap out of my other vl wich didnt have a hassle. The one difference is the bigger turbo booster. It is mounted properly. post a photo of urs if u wouldnt mind of that area in ur bay. Thanks.

My (NA) booster is only about 2mm from the RB25 intake runners, never hits though so i just didnt bother giving it any more clearance.

Bump, I still need advice with this, I really would like to some photos of peoples conversions of the brake booster area. Also poohkies there is no way you done this conversion and had a few cm clearence with a turbo booster, It wouldnt be possible unless u had custom mounts made up to move the engine forward.
