You don't have to enclose it. Just need something between you and the tank.



My tank is mounted using the factory mounting points, we made brakets to fit it. The only cutting done to the car was a smalle hole for filling the gas...

thats pretty cool..



Has anyone ever made a manifold so the inlet faces straight up (north), then the exhaust side would face south????....It would also make the IC tube from the turbo to the IC a cool straight shot..... just a thought

I swear I read in the nrha rule book that if the fuel cell has to be enclosed even if its under the car? I didn't understand that and still don't, but if thats not the case, my stock gas tank is already out

Can't do it because oiling is gravity fed inside the center cartridge.

i dont really see any minuses to putting the turbo there either
the only negative would be more weight slightly farther forward, right?
