I posted this in the turbo section as well trying to get some opinions. Sorry if I was not supposed to double post. I tried homemadeturbo.com but that turned into a couple of guys flaming my car and other things so I figured I would try elsewhere to get some intelligent answers.
I recently picked up a civic hatch with a B18 Turbo and the guy had to move unexpectedly and had this turbo lying around. The only problem is it didn't clear the hood so he cut a hole threw the hood. My question is, what turbo will clear the hood or do I need to buy an aftermarket hood? The current Garrett turbo a/r ratios are the same as a GT45 so it is a rather large turbo I am assuming. Anyways, I included a pic below and hopefully I will be able to add more once I get them uploaded.
