Adam,
i have got a few pics and different setups in mags you could have a look at, I was thinking about it for mine but with the turbo header and low uncut apron, could be hard.
try this wedsite for some pics: http://www.foreracing.com/home.html 
I think the turbo manx from your USA shots shows one off also.

Adam, perhaps you could try some balast or some stiffer tortion bars in the rear. Front limiting straps will stop wheelies in some cases too. Wheelie bars on a road car are a last resort because of the inconvienience. ....regards DB

no its not for the car above its for the new turbo car
the turbo is mounted on top of the g/box so i have plenty
of room(no exhaust inthe way)

Hey Adam,

What's going in to the new turbo car. What are you bolting together?

Are you putting it in to the old race car?

Cheers,

James C.
