It&#8217;s also better at high revs which is where the turbos will be happy, and a lot better to look at. I couldn&#8217;t resist getting the turbos out and mocking it up to get an idea of how it will look. They&#8217;ll sit a lot further forward than in the pic, and the left hand one will be clocked round to face the intake. Plenty of space at the moment but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll end up a lot more cramped by the time it&#8217;s on the road.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/Holy-Guacamole.jpg\" alt=\"Holy Guacamole\" width=\"443\" height=\"293\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been slowly plodding on with the mountain of metalwork on the truck, and wanted to get the front end back on out of the way.
