yes it is. I guess the only placement for it would be in the passenger battery spot.

thats a big turbo, looks like a t6? is that a bw s400 maybe? cant tell from the pics. are using a scavenge pump or gravity for oil supply?

mine is alot smaller and its a t4 housing, should be good for 1250hp, but i wont be anywhere close to those number

Why not move the turbo back a bit? It looks as if there's plenty of room from this angle maybe I'm off on that but it looks fine to me. An air filter may be a bit hairy though.
