GTSBoy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Easier just to live without it (the near useless bar, not the turbo).

89CAL Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hard to tell for sure from your photo, but I dont think you will have clearance issues, Turbo sits just above the cam cover on yours, and their designed to clear the crossover pipe so I dont think you'll have an issue. Mine has miles of clearance between the cam covers and strut brace: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415335-fitting-front-strut-bar-with-turbo-in-the-way/#findComment-6662428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 mine was very close, even more so because the turbo has a heat sheild; however the stagea factory strut brace does sit very high. I could see a highmount turbo fouling a strut brace pretty easily.

Miguelone Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yep that looks like it should fit perfectly fine. some braces do sit a bit higher than others but most are pretty similar.

Miguelone Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Looks like it has a similar profile to my Tomei9 3 point, it looks fairly flat in pictures but actually sits fairly closely to 89Cals brace up the top. Only pics I really have of it but should give you some idea. Edit: having a closer look at that Juran brace it loks like it won't even need to sit above the turbo as it sits further back than the forward-most tophat bolt.
