Thanks. If theres nothing off the shelf i'll probably DIY - we in the UK have a 4 day national holiday coming and i'd really like to be back on the road ASAP
I cant believe it hasnt been done this way already. This blower and location combo looks like such a simple way to go about it. If it fits.

Seen it done this way on a kit car (Lotus 7 / Caterham / Westfield style car).
Don't see any particular issue with the location, nice strong mounting points on the block there.
The intake might for the sc might take a bit of working out, getting it past the hot exhaust that looks like it will be dropping down just behind it.
The intake for the sc is also something you don't want to compromise on if you want to achieve the full power potential of the setup. Nice open bends, good size pipework etc.
4 days might be pushing it, custom fab always takes about 5x longer than you think it will but have at it!

Blackbird Fabworx had a one-off build with the blower mounted low in the location you're describing.
