Fitting Front Strut Bar With Turbo In The Way

[Samgrainger32]

hey i was trying to look for some answers to fitting a front strut bar im looking fitting one but i have a turbo that sits near the right hand tower (its a r32 gts4) was seeing if people have problems with this and if there is special braces people use to over come this??

Easier just to live without it (the near useless bar, not the turbo).

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:

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.

add a washer if needed

Yep that looks like it should fit perfectly fine. some braces do sit a bit higher than others but most are pretty similar.

looks like is quiet flat so any one got pics of these sort fitted?

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.
