I have a gt42 kit and an interested buyer wants to know. Can it be made to fit?

the only problem i see is getting the positioning of the DP and turbo to not hit the steering rack

On a gt42... I doubt it. But it depends on the kit/placement of mainly the manifold. The stearing shaft gets in the way a bit.

^^ What they said. . .the manifold design, where it places the turbo (gt42 is pretty big) and also runner(s) for your wastegate could all get in the way of the steering rack. . .

what kind of kit is it?

It is a custom setup with the turbo sitting furthur forward. This will give a good idea of where it sits.

Steering rack goes right where the dp goes through. Turbo is for sure enough forward in my opinion, just the down pipe looks like an issue.

DP and WG both look to be a issue.

Take a rod (broomstick etc) and lay it down in the engine bay approximately where the LHD steering shaft sits and you will see roughly what kind of room you have to work with.
