Getting the G60 project started

["Ben Beacock" <beacockb@uoguelph.ca>]

I figured that I've had to sit around with that G60 in a box long 
enough.  I found the Golf Xtreme magazine and it has the limited G60 
16V in it.  
Specs
Body
1989 VW Golf G60 Limited five-door, golf synchro floorpan, G60 rallye 
front end

blueprinted 1781cc, 16V, Digifant electronic fuel injection, , 
hydraulic bucket tappets, G60 supercharger, Jetex air filter, custom 
fabricated manifold, VW motorsport exhaust system with dual regulated 
catalytic converters, golf rallye radiator

Max Power  (drum roll please)      210 bhp at 6500  rpm
Torque                                           186 lbf.ft at 5000rpm

system)

Suspension
VW motorsports shocks, anti roll bar, 

Steering
some moron converted from our side to their side so their wife could 
use it to get groceries (210 bhp?  didn't want to waste time I guess)

huge brakes, ABS

7x15 BBS rims, 195/50/ZR15


Anyways,  if anyone knows of a cheap G60 mounting bracket, I can 
possiby get started.  I think I'll start by moving the alternator 
behind the motor this weekend (lots of bracket engineering) and 
figuring out where to put the intercooler.
I think i'm going to have to put the intercooler on the passenger 
side where the washer bottle is because the plumbing to go all the 
way from the G60 to the drivers side and back over and up to the 
passenger side t-body would pretty much kill all kinds of power.  The 
perfect setup would be like the limited edition, intake air on the 
passenger side, charge it, go to the intercooler on the driver side 
and then right into the driver side t-body.  But I think my way 
should work ok, since the long 4 feet of tube i have now isn't 
hurting performance that much.

I think I've been watching too much rallying on TV.
