I did ask at TVR Power with regards to this and was told there just isn't the space on a V8 wedge.

I seem to remember that someone did it on a race car using front facing Griff / Chim headers and cutting a big hole in the front fibreglass by the radiator for the turbo and intercooler. Plus it had / needed a bespoke engine management system etc etc. Not something I would want to do on a road car ... IMPO if you want more power then there is no substitute for more cubic capacity in my book

Janspeed Rover V8 turbo kit on eB at the moment. No bids and at £395. I presume you need to use the cast iron exhaust manifold rather than our usual multitube one?
