CA V Mount options

Hi there. I've currently got a preowned GReddy FMIC that I'm thinking about either selling and buying a cheap V Mount, or running as a V Mount, as I know it's possible. However, I'm worried about clearance with the twin turbos. The core looks to wide to work with the twins and GReddy intakes, so i'm leaning towards selling it and buying a cheaper alternative. The CX Racing kit looks like it only works for single turbos, and the other kit I found is by NPBoosted, which I cannot find any pictures of it being installed so I don't have a clue on if that'll work. Looking for anyone's knowledge or advice, as I'm sure i'm not the only one who has ever been in this situation. Thanks in advance!

The intercooler is the easy part of a V-mount kit, all the brackets, radiator, plumbing, etc. is what really makes it a pain.

To be honest you'll probably be time and money ahead big time by getting the Greddy v-mount kit. Super clean kit, proven performance, and bolts on nicely with everything you need.

Thanks for the info! Did you have to remove anything? Obviously a battery relocation will have to happen, but was there much else that had to be relocated/removed?

Pretty much everything in front of the motor has to be moved or modified. Like I said, it's a big job!

Battery has to be miniaturized or moved, power steering lines have to be modified, radiator is stood up, AC lines bent/modified, it's a lot of work.

Yep bite the bullet and go with the greddy. It is well worth it since it comes with piping, couplers, a radiator, and intake(s) never mind it also retains the AC.

The Greddy V mount is by far the best production kit on the market. Everything else leaves a lot to be desired.
