I guess I am out of the loop they are F-ed right up with the numbers because it was HSF-5, HSF-6 now HSF-3 Richard must be on crack The 6 was a huge upgrade over the 5 just on instal time alone and looks like the 3 is pretty bad azz.

Wish they could relocate that god awful dipstick -_-

Congrats on the project Gabe! We are all looking forward to hear the results!

Some delays on GTM's side. The guy that they use to machine the brackets is MIA so they have to find an alternative route. I'm also leaving to Singapore/Korea for 1.5month in two weeks so hopefully by the time I come back things will be peachier.

The clearance is different then stock, higher, which shouldn't be a bad thing since it'll allow more room for where the blower is going. I'm guessing as a second agenda that GTM also wants to use my car as a test and make sure that if the kit goes into production then normal mounts won't cause a fitment problem. I did somewhat contemplated going back to OEM a while a go to remove some NVH in the chasis, so I just just agreed to do it. Good thing you asked since it got me thinking about the situation, perhaps i should try the Megan ones.

It looks like from the picture the power steering pump was moved instead of the alternator. Is that what you meant?

Actually it's both. They got shifted up and they removed the tensioning idler pulley that use to sit between the alternator and crank pulley.
