Yeah, I think I had explained that in a previous thread or post. The turbo is where the front motor mount is on the NA VG30E. If you get a VG30ET and have a custom manifold made to place the turbo between the engine and the battery, you can use a bigger turbo without worrying about radiator clearance or a custom radiator. Another option is a custom motor mount, but I would replace the manifold. Estimated cost is 3-400 dollars.
