Body cutout for turbo
I read I'll have to cut part of the dog house opening to fit the 6.5 turbo in. Is that true for even 92 models? Any pics with measurements on the forum documenting this? I'd hate to get it wrong!

Re: Body cutout for turbo
"Hmmwv A2 project" lists it on the Steelsoldier site(TedG's build).
I did see a comment about a 3" factory lift allowing clearance for the turbo. Do the new body bushings give you the clearance you need without cutting?

You can just install the turbo doghouse and see where the new edge would be. That is if the motor isnt in the way.

Re: Body cutout for turbo
Have also seen crossovers with a cutout section for clearance at the top of the motor opening. I think you still would have to cut the sides to clear the exhaust.

Re: Body cutout for turbo
I have to do this shortly to my M966, so posting up any pics or info will certainly help out the peanut gallery.
Thanks!

Re: Body cutout for turbo
Here are some factory pictures of the tub for turbo. Both sides are trimmed for the exhaust system.
Enjoy.

Re: Body cutout for turbo
I haven't measured yet but I wonder if there's enough material to cut out, push back and rivet in to keep the factory lip.
Thanks for the pics Ted.
